NOT IF IT PLEASES ME Graham Parker

Blues in F  (capo at 1)

 

Instrumental verse

 

E                     E7

If I should stumble down the street

A                               F#7

Pay no attention just jump my feet yeah 

E                 B7                  E   F#7   B7  

You can't stop me  not if it pleases me. 

 

E                     E7

And if I should steal your only girl-child 

A                            F#7

Don't you worry mama just drive a while 

E                 B7                  E    F#7   B7  

You can't stop me not if it pleases me. 

 

CHORUS
