Genesis
We Can't Dance

Tabbed by Frederic Maquet. f.maquet@ic.ac.uk

This is a classic rock tune and I couldn't believe no one had tabbed it
(although it is
pretty simple)....This is by no means entirely correct, as the original
has a synthesizer that
adds a good bit of the punch, and the bass does a lot too.
If some of the chords seem unusual, it's because I wanted it to sound as
Bass-y as
possible (to give it some crunch!). You can always use the normal
chords although
it'll sound less "authentic". Enjoy.
