Cant Stop Me Now

Rod Stewart


Tom: C

[Intro] C Am F C C Am Dm C

[Verse 1]

C
I stood up straight and sang
for the record company man
F
My enthusiasm filled the room
C
I was young and I was keen
With the devil in my stream
F
As I hollored out an old blues tune
Am
We can't sign your son
G
'Cause he don't fit in the mold
F
It's your hair and your nose and your clothes
Am
I said thank you gentleman
G
For this opportunity 
F                           G
Now move on down the road

I remember how I used to say

[Chorus]

C
They can't stop me now
Am
The world is waiting
F                                         C
It's my turn to stand out in the crowd
C
They can't stop me now
Am
The tide is turning
Dm                         C
I'm gonna make you proud

[Post Chorus]
C Am Dm C


[Verse 2]

C
Well it was rough and it was tough
But I couldn't get enough
F
Of this rhythm and blues I crave
C
Was singing in the pubs
F
Singing in the clubs
C
Then along came Maggie May
Am
All the things he said to me
G
And all the things I heard
F
I had a point to prove
Am
I will climb this mountain
G                       
With this god given gift
F                               G
If it's the last thing that I do

And I remember thinking

[Chorus] x2

[Bridge]

G
Born to ramble
F
Born to sing
Em                      Dm              G
In a new world of rock n roll
            F
One man in particular
Dm                      Em
Filled my heart with pride
F               G
And fired up my soul



C
Thanks for the faith
Thanks for the patience
Dm                      F
Thanks for the helping hand
C
Thanks for the love
G
Thanks for the guidance
Dm
Thanks for the tartan pride
