CAN I PUT YOU ON –ELTON JOHN
G F
I work for the foundry for a penny and a half a day
C 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 C
If he can rivet then his kids can buy
C F | C | G
Candy from the candy man
CHORUS:
F C/G
And the van that comes around weekends
F C/G
Selling fancy city things
F C/G
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/B C
Can I put you on, people can I put you on
D G
Tell you that I love you people
C F | C | G
Sing a salesman's song and put you on
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
But the crew gets paid its gelt
G Am
Bang on the bell on Friday
C C F | C | G
You buys a little something for yourself
Chorus
F C/G
And the van that comes around weekends
F C/G
Selling fancy city things
F C/G
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/B C
Can I put you on, people can I put you on
D G
Tell you that I love you people
C F | C | G
Sing a salesman's song and put you on
(Repeat Chorus)
Ending:
G F C G
Oh! Oh! Oh! People can I put you on?
