Who Can It Be Now by Men at Work
Who Can It Be Now
Tuning: E A D G B E
Verse:
E D
Who can this be knocking at my door
C#m B
Go away, don''t come round here no more
E D
Can''t you see that it''s late at night
C#m B
I''m very tired, and I''m not feeling right
E D
All I wish was to be alone
C#m B
Stay away, don''t you invade my home
E D
Best off if you hang outside
C#m B
Don''t come in, I''ll only run and hide
Chorus:
C#m
Who can it be now
B
Who can it be now
C#m
Who can it be now
B
Who can it be now
Bridge:
F#m B
Is this the man come to take me away
F#m B
Why do they follow me
F#m B
It''s not the future, that I can see
F#m B
It''s just my fantasy
Then vocals drop out for a bit and the chords switch from E to D about 3 times.
Listen to the song for rhythms.
Then chorus again
C#m
Who can it be now
B
Who can it be now
C#m
Who can it be now
B
Who can it be now
Then the chorus stays same rhythm but goes:
B
Who can it be now
A
Who can it be now
B
Who can it be now
A
Who can it be now
