Can I Put You On

  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?
