Em             D             Em
Can't get no sleeves for my records
              D            Em
Can't get no laces for my shoes
Em            D
Can't get no fancy notes
    A
On my blue guitar
 C           D          Em7 A     Em7 A
Can't get no antidote for    blues

Can't find the reasons for your actions
Or I don't much like the reasoning you use
Somehow your motives are impure
Somehow I can't find the cure
Can't get no antidote for blues
Oh yeah, uh

     Em               D
They say it's mostly vanity
       A                 Am
That writes the plays we act
      C                  D          Em  Am
They tell me that's what everybody knows
        Em                D
There's no such thing as sanity
      A                Am
And that's the sanest fact
C           Bm  C  D
That's the way the story goes

Can't get no remedy on my TV
It's nothing but the same old news
Where they can't find a way to be
One world in harmony
Can't get no antidote for blues
Oh yeah, uh

Uh, oh yeah, uh
Alright
