Topic: I Can Do That

Okay, the last song I wrote was pretty tough to play. This one is easy to play and easy to understand how it should be played. Something most of us have thought one time or another watching the TV or at the movies.  I hope you like it.

I Can Do That By Jeff Gilpin


September 19th, 2007






Intro


[G7] [C7] [G7] [D7]




Verse 1


[G7]Look at that guy


[G7]Up on the screen


[G7]He ain’t much more


[G7]Different than me


I can [C7]do that


I can do that standing on my [G7]head


He’s [D7]making a face


Now he’s [C7]walking away


That’s [D7]not much more


Then I [C7]do every day


I can [G7]do that [D7]




Verse 2


[G7]Look at him now


[G7]Trying to look cool


[G7]That’s all I did


[G7]All through high school


I can [C7]do that


And I did that for [G7]years


It [D7]ain’t nothing special



Just [C7]me being me


It’s [D7]nothing I’m not


[C7]Doing now for free


I can [G7]do that [D7]




Bridge


Just [C7]look at all those guys up on the screen up there


They’re [G7]not much different than me


They don’t [C7]sing, they don’t dance, and they don’t play guitar


And use [D7]stand-ins for the dangerous things




Verse 3   


So [G7]where are those scouts?


I’m [G7]sitting over here


Just [G7]think of the money


I could [G7]make in a year


I can [C7]do that


That’s what I do every [G7]day


It’s just [D7]walking and talking


And [C7]me being me


I’ll [D7]even be someone else


If they [C7]start paying me


So get [D7]those cameras rolling


And [C7]pretty soon you’ll see


That I can [G7]do that [C7] [D7] [G7]

Re: I Can Do That

Re: I Can Do That

Hi Jeff,

This certainly was very easy to play and I had great fun playing it upbeat and perky.

Like Old Doll I too always think that "I can do that" and I have done just as you describe in your song.

Thank you,

Roger

Re: I Can Do That

Thanks you two - This was a fun little number and at least for this one you can give the F chords a rest.
