What Can I Do BY SMOKIE Tabbed by Buenofine Calse
[Intro]
Em C B7 Em C B7
[Verse]
Em Am
Every dream that I dream seems to float on by
C B7
Like a cloud in the wind way up in the sky
Em Am
Every move that I make seems to be the wrong way
C B7
Like a cold black night after a summer day
[Chorus]
Em
What can I do?
Am
What can I do?
D
Nothing’s the same as it used to be

Nothing’s the same as it used to be

Em Am
You still play my guitar with a smile on my face
C B7
Now everything’s changed, my whole life’s rearranged
Em Am
From the day I was born, Sidle Jinks was my name
C B7
Though I tried and I tried the sting still remains

[Verse]
Em Am
I hear voices all singing but no one’s there
C B7
It’s the ghost of my life bringing past tense to mind
Em Am
Lockin’ key inside me from freedom and sin
C B7
Oh come let me in I’ll start all over again
[Chorus]
