      Super easy peasy dolly dimple.. I can play it after several campside beers... Version.
Seems everyone from 6 to 60 seem to know the chorus too.


[Verse 1]

 A         G     A
 Hot sun beating down
 G                    C       D
 Burning my feet just walking around
 A         G      A
 Hot sun making me sweat
 G                             C      D
 'Gators getting close, hasn't got me yet


[Chorus]

   A A/G   A      A A/G   A
   I can't dance, I can't talk
   G                              C     D
   The only thing about me is the way I walk
   A A/G   A      A A/G   A
   I can't dance, I can't sing
   G                      C       D     A
   I'm just standing here selling everything


[Verse 2]

 A                  G       A
 Blue jeans sitting on the  beach
 G                            C            D
 Her dog's talking to me, but she's out of reach
 A                G          A
 She's got a body under that shirt
 G                                 C           D
 But all she wants to do is rub my face in the dirt


[Chorus]

   A A/G   A      A A/G   A
   I can't dance, I can't talk
   G                              C     D
   The only thing about me is the way I walk
   A A/G   A      A A/G   A
   I can't dance, I can't sing
   G                      C        D
   I'm just standing here selling, Oh and..


[Middle 8]

     F                         Em
     Checking everything is in place
               D                  D 
     You never know who's looking on


[Interlude]

| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |
| A             A | G/A A       G/A | A             G |   C   D     G/A |


[Verse 3]

 A                   G          A
 Young punk spilling beer on my shoes
 G                                 C        D
 Fat guy's talking to me trying to steal my blues
 A                    G       A
 Thick smoke, see her smiling through
 G                                         C    D
 I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool

But..


[Chorus]

   A A/G   A      A A/G   A
   I can't dance, I can't talk
   G                              C     D
   The only thing about me is the way I walk
   A A/G   A      A A/G   A
   I can't dance, I can't sing
   G                      C        D
   I'm just standing here selling, Oh and ...


[Middle 8]

     F                         Em
     checking everything is in place
         D                D 
     You never know who's looking on
     C                Bb             G
     The perfect body with a perfect face ...


[Interlude]

| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |
| A             A | G/A A       G/A | A             G |   C   D     G/A |


[Chorus]

A A/G   A      A A/G   A
   I can't dance, I can't talk
   G                              C     D
   The only thing about me is the way I walk
   A A/G   A      A A/G   A
   I can't dance, I can't sing
   G                      C        D
   I'm just standing here selling, everything
