P - Graham Parker - "You Cant Be Too Strong" guitar tab and chords
Printer friendly version :: Total views: 68
For those of you fans of mid-to-late 70's stuff by people like Parker, E. 
Costello, etc., here's a "blast from the past".  This song was on an album 
called "Squeezing Out Sparks" (a great record).  The song caused a fair 
amount of controversy around the abortion issue; you all can be your own 
judges.  I've gotten so much from this group that I wanted to finally 
contribute by posting something that might be a little offbeat and of 
interest to folks... 

You Can't Be Too Strong (Graham Parker) 

Intro-  E   A B E   A B E 
                  B                    C#m 
Did they tear it out, with tongues of steel 
               G#m                         A 
And give you a shot, so that you wouldn't feel 
             B                     E    A B E 
And wash it away, as if it wasn't real 

               B                      C#m 
It's just a mistake, I won't have to face 
                G#m                    A 
Don't give it a name, don't give it a place 
                 B                       E 
Don't give it a chance, it's lucky in a way 

    A                          B 
It must have felt strange, to find me inside you 
    E                 A 
I hadn't intended to stay 
                               B 
If you want to keep it right, put it to sleep at night 
C#m        A  B 
Squeeze it until it could say 

                   C#m A B 
You can't be too strong 
                   C#m A B 
You can't be too strong 
                   C#m A B E 
You can't be too strong 

                   A 
You can't be too strong 
E                  B   E 
You decide what's wrong 

                   B                 C#m 
Well I ain't gonna cry, I'm gonna rejoice 
                 G#m                  A 
And shout myself dry, and go see the boys 
                      B                  E  A B 
They'll laugh when I say, I left it overseas 

E                              B                  C#m 
Yeah babe I know that it gets dark, down by Luna Park 
              G#m                       A 
But everybody else, is squeezing out a spark 
                      B                      E 
That happened in the heat, somewhere in the dark, in the dark 

     A                      B 
The doctor gets nervous, completing the service 
      E                        A 
He's all rubber gloves and no head 
                                   B 
He fumbles the light switch, it's just another minor hitch 
C#m    A     B 
Wishes to God he was dead 

                     C#m A B 
But you can't be too strong 
                     C#m A B 
You can't be too strong 
                     C#m A B E 
You can't be too strong 

               A      E                 B    E 
Can't be too strong, you decide what's wrong 
              A       E                   B         E 
Can't be too hard, too tough, too rough, too right, too wrong 
     A  E               B     E 
And you, can't be too strong 
     A  E               B 
Baby you can't be too strong... 

Repeat intro (I think).
