Handyman Blues(Cavaco chords)

	        


    C           Cmaj9       Am   Am7       F        Fmaj9  C 
I'm never gonna be the handyman around the house my father was 
   C        Cmaj9        Am     Am7     F        Fmaj9  D7 
So don't be asking me to hang a curtain rail for you, because 

Am          Am7           D7 
Screwdriver business just gets me confused 
Am          Am7             D7 
It takes me half an hour to change a fuse 
Am         Am7                    D7 
And when I flicked the switch the lights all blew 

F   Fmaj9         C 
I'm not your handyman 

C          Cmaj9         Am     Am7        F       Fmaj9  C 
Don't be expecting me to put up shelves or build a garden shed 
C         Cmaj9             Am        Am7            F      Fmaj9  D7 
But I can write a song that tells the world how much I love you instead 
Am      Am7         D7               Am        Am7         D7 
I'm not any good at pottery so let's lose the 't' and just shift back the 'e' 
         Am     Am7            D7             F     Fmaj9   D7 
And I'll find a way to make my poetry build a roof over our heads 
Am        Am7                 D7 
I know it looks like I'm just reading the paper 
Am        Am7                D7 
But these ideas I'll turn to gold dust later 
Am          Am7          D7 
Cause I'm a writer not a decorator? 
F   Fmaj9    C 
I'm not your handyman
