                             You Can't Do That
							Lennon/McCartney

        D
I got something to say that might cause you pain,


If I catch you talking to that boy again,

           G                           D
I'm gonna let you down, and leave you flat.

           A7             G                D
Because I told you befo--ore you can't do that.

               D
Well it's the second time I caught you talking to him,


Do I have to tell you one more time I think it's a sin.

              G                           D
I think I'll let you down, and leave you flat.

           A7             G                D
Because I told you befo--ore you can't do that.

            F#7    Bm         Em              F#m       D
Everybody's gree--een, 'cause I'm the one who won your love,

              F#7   Bm       Em                       F#m
But if they'd see--een, you talking that way, they'd laugh in my face.

      D
So please listen to me if you wanna stay mine,


I can't help my feelings I go out of my mind,

           G                           D
I'm gonna let you down, and leave you flat.

           A7             G                D
Because I told you befo--ore you can't do that.

Acknowledgement:  This song was originally transcribed in 1993 by Jim Campobello (campo@calspan.com). I downloaded Jim's version and transposed into the key of G used on the Anthology album.  I also added some bluesy 11ths and 9ths which give the Beatles that bluesy rock sound.  The Beatles also played this in F# in the opening segment of the movie A Hard Day's Night.  A great song that I have just rediscovered.  Enjoy!
