Loudon Wainwright "No" tutorial and chords cover by Andy Roberts. As requestted by  @1969bluezeppelin Thanks for making a great start on typing in the lyrics. I'm sorry this video is a bit jumpy, it's going to be hard to follow the audio and view the chords together in some parts but hopefully there's enough of it there to piece it all together. 

"No" by Loudon Wainwright

Dm                                                                                                                      G
You can say no to the beggar in the street, and to the seller with a blissed out smile
Dm                                                    G            F         D
no to the dog and the parakeet, and no to the crying child

You can say no to the waiter who's pushing the three day old cole slaw
you can say no to your uncle and your brother, your father and your father-in-law

you can answer  no in a Gallup poll,and vote no in a voting booth
and you can refuse to accept the facts, and you can refuse to truth

no to loaning your lawnmower to your neighbor who lives next door
you can say no the bartender when he start to pour one more

Dm              A            G    Bflat    Dm
but you can't say no, no to that woman
you can't say no to that woman


You can say to the bully or the boss, fat belly with the big cigar
you can say no to the sergeant at arm, or the sheriff with the shining star

you can say no to sure success,and no to fame and wealth
you can say no to the devil in the desert, and you can say no to yourself

you can turn down an interview, and turn down an autograph hound
and you can decline the lines the dope dealer is passing around

you can say no to the old homo who's trying to squeeze your thigh
you can say nay to the CIA nyet to the FBI

but you can't say no, no to that woman
you can't say no to that woman

you can give up cigarettes, and sugar and meat for Lent
you can renege on your landlord when the times comes to pay the rent

you can say no to almost anything that you're asked to do
you can say no you can say no way, or you can say no thank you

you can reject a final request, and deny a desperate plea
you can say no when they ask you to agree to surgery

almost every single time, negativity will pull you through
but you're in a mess, when she wants a yes, cos she'll get it right out of you

Cos you can't say no, no to that woman
you can't say no, no to that woman
