Hall & Oates - I Can't Go For That (No Can Do) -by Rob Young

Jamming with this classic song...

Easy, ready, willing, overtime
Where does it stop, where do you dare me to draw the line?
You've got the body, now you want my soul
Don't even think about it, say no go

I-- I'll do anything that you want me to do
And I'll do almost anything, that you want me too, ooh

But I can't go for that (No can do)
No, I can't go for that (No can do)
Oh, I can't go for that (No can do)
I can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that

I can't go for being twice as nice
I can't go for just repeating the same old lines
Use the body, now you want my soul
Ooh, forget about it, now say no go

I-- I'll do anything that you want me to do
And I'll do almost anything that you want me to do

But I can't go for that (No can do)
No, I can't go for that (No can do)
Oh, I can't go for that (No can do)
I can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that

[ break]

Oh, I-- I'll do anything that you want me to do
And I'll do almost anything that you want me to do

But I can't go for that (No can do)
No, I can't go for that (No can do)
Oh, I can't go for that (No can do)
I can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that

I can't go for that, can't go for that (No can do)
I can't go, I can't go-- for that (No can do)
Oh, I can't go for that (No can do)
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no can do
Oh, I can't go for that, yeah (No can do)
No, no, no, no, no, no.....

hey can you make tabs for this song?

[robyoung0]

Sorry man, making tabs is a pain in the ass for me...I can tell you where to start off, and once your ear gets it, I'm sure you can sort it out on youw own.

[robyoung0]

Intro and Chorus: Starts on a high F, 3rd fret on D string. Sounds like [FF, C D# C D# C] :: This is the first measure. 1st position.

Verse: High C, 5th fret on G string. Sounds like [CC, G A# G A# G] That's another measure. 2nd position.

Pre-Chorus: It's 2nd position, but I'm not gonna bother transcribing it.

Intro and Chorus:

Follow the box fingering on the fret board, and you'll be alright with intro + verse.

Nice work! Thanks for posting the vid... would love to see more.

[robyoung0]

thanks boss, when i receive my bass, definitely!!

[NewMexicoSunset]

Not bad. I came on here looking for the De La Soul version.Not bad. My only recommendation is to feel the music a little more. Do you cover any Steely Dan?

[robyoung0]

"say no go" by De La Soul.,.great song, and, in IMO, tribute to H&O.

I haven't any Steely Dan, but give me a track and I'll try it.

[carlosmaga1]

Good very good! ( In Brazil is ; Bom muito bom!)

[cherngjai]

Nice! One of the greatest songs in the history of music:)

[jetershomie]

nice work homie, T-Bone would be proud

[psantoki]

Nice job Rob

I was trying to figure out how to play the pre-chorus riff- I like the way you play it. So stolen!

Cheers

[thefineste24]

respect

[memyself2k]

This is excellent brother.

[metropolis702]

Man i have practiced and practiced hard and i still cannot get the pre-chorus part. Can you please help me!

[rbound827]

roby- as a bass player, how close is this bassline to Billie Jean? Hall and Oates say that MJ told them he copped the bassline from this song for Billie Jean. What's the difference in the two?

[Bl4ckDmon1]

that's some serious jammin', love it.

[metropolis702]

Thanks man! This really helps me out!
