Can't Stop Me Now - Rod Stewart
Tabbed by Roj Vincent
[Intro]
C Am Dm C (x 2)
C
I stood up straight and sang for the record company man
Am
My enthusiasm filled the room
C
I was young and I was keen with the devil in my stream
F C
As I hollered out an old blues tune
Am G
We can't sign you son 'cause you don't fit in the mould
F
It's your hair and your nose and your clothes
C Dm
I said thank you gentlemen for this opportunity
F G
And moved on down the road
I remember I used to say
[Chorus]
C Am
They can't stop me now, the world is waiting
F C
It's my turn to stand out in the crowd
C Am
They can't stop me now, the tide is turning
F C
I'm gonna make you proud
C Am F C
So proud .... so proud
C
Well it was rough and it was tough but I couldn't get enough
Am
Of this rhythm and blues I craved
C
I was singing in the pubs, singing in the clubs
Dm C
Then along came Maggie May
Am Dm
All the things they said to me and all the things I heard
F
I had a point to prove – Oh yeah
C Dm
I will climb this mountain with this God given gift
F G
If it's the last thing that I do
And I remember thinking
[Chorus]
G Dm
Born to ramble, born to sing
C G
In a new world of rock and roll
G Dm
One man in particular filled my heart with pride
F G C
And he fired up my soul Oh Yeah
C
Thanks for the faith
Am
Thanks for the patience
F C
Thanks for the helping hand
C
Thanks for the love
Am
Thanks for the guidance
F C
Thanks for the tartan pride
[Instrumental Break]
C Am F C (Repeat x 2)
[Chorus]
C Am
They can't stop me now, the world is waiting
F C
It's my turn to stand out in the crowd
C Am
They can't stop me now, the tide is turning
F C
I'm gonna make you proud
C Am F C
So proud .... so proud
