Elton John - Can I Put You On

G F C G G C G

G F C G G C)*


G        G/F
I work for the foundry for a penny and a half a day

C        G        C/G G
Like a blind street musician I never see those who pay

Am        C
It's dirty work in Birmingham

C
Better deal for a Sheffield man

G        Am
If he can rivet then his kids can buy

C        C        C C G
Candy from the candy man


F        C
And the van that comes around weekends

F        C
Selling fancy city things

F        C
Sold by the man with the trilby hat

F        C/E
And the whiskers spread like wings

Am7
You can hear him sing

D
Oh you can hear him sing

G G/A        G/B C        F/C
Can I put you on, people can I put you on

C        G
Tell you that I love you people

F        C G/B Am7 C C G
Sing a salesman's song and put you on


G              G/F
And a second cousin works in the pits in Newcastle on Tyne

C              G
And he don't care if it rains outside, there's coal dust on his mind

Am        C
It's dirty work in Manchester

C        C
But the crew gets paid its gelt

G        Am
Bang on the bell on Friday

C        C C C G
You buys a little something for yourself

F        C
And the van that comes around weekends

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

G        G/F C                          G
Oh! Oh! Oh! People can I put you on?
(REPEAT, AD LIB, FADE)
