DON’T BE DENIED

Key: D

 -3 -6*-6*-6*  6   -3
When I was a young boy,
-3 -6*-6* -6* 6  6
My ma-ma said to me
 -3   7   7     7  7   -6*6 -5 -56
Your dad-dy's leav-in' home to-day,
-3   7    7   -6* 6 -6*-56 
I think he's gone to stay.
-3  -6*   6   6   6  -4-3
We packed up all our bags
-3   -6*   6  -5  6  6  -3
And drove out to Win-ni-peg.

 -3 -6* -6* -6* 6  6  -3
When we got to Win-ni-peg
-3  -3   -6* -6*   6
I checked in to school.
-3 -3     7    7  -6*6-5  -56 
I wore white bucks on my feet,
 -3 -3    7     7  -6* -6* 6-6*-56
When I learned the gold-en rule.
-3   -6* -6*   6   6   -4   -3
The punch-es came fast and hard
-6*-6* 6  -5   6  -3 -3    -3    -3
Ly-ing on my back in the school yard.

 -6* -6* 6    6    -6* -6* 6   6-3
Don't be de-nied, don't be de-nied.
  7   7  7 -6*6-5   7   7  -7-6*6-6*6-56
Don't be de-nied, don't be de-  nied.
 -6* -6*  6  6-3   -6* -6* 6   6-3
Don't be de-nied, don't be de-nied.

-3   -6* -6* -6*  6  6  6   -3
Well pret-ty soon I met a friend,
-3  -6*    6   6   -3  -6* 6   7
He played gui-tar. We used to sit
7  -5   -6*  6    6
on the steps at school
-3    7   7  6-6* 6   -6*
And dream of  be-ing stars.
-3  -6*  6  6  6-3  -3  -6*    6    6
We start-ed a band, We played all night.

 -6* -6* 6   6-3   -6* -6*  7   6
Don't be de-nied, don't be de-nied.
  7   7  7 -6*6-5   7   7  -7-6*6-6*6
Don't be de-nied, don't be de-nied.
 -6* -6* 6   6-3   -6* -6* 6  6-6* 
Don't be de-nied, don't be de-nied.

-6* 6  6  6
Oh Ca-na-da
-3  -6*    6    6
We played all night
6   7   7  -5  -6*  6    6   6
I real-ly hate to leave you now
-3  7    7    6   -6*  -6*  6  -6*
But to stay just would-n't be right.
-6*   6  6  6    6  -3   -6*  6   6
Down in Hol-ly-wood we played so good

-3  -6*    6  -6*   6   6  6 -4-3-4
The bus-‘ness-men crowd-ed a-round
 -3  -6* -6* -6*   6   6   6    -3
They came to hear the gold-en sound
  7  -6*   7  7  -6* -6*  6    6
There we were on the Sun-set Strip,
 7    7   7    7   -7   7  -6*  -5  -6*
Play-ing our songs for the high-est bid.
-3  -6*    6   6-3
We played all night
-3   -6*   6   6
The price was right.

 -6* -6*  6  6  -6*-5 -6* -6*  6   6  
Don't be de-nied, no don't be de-nied.
  7   7  7 -6*6-5   7   7  -7 -6*6-6*  
Don't be de-nied, don't be de- nied.
-6*  -6* 6   6-3   -6* -6*  6 6-6*
Don't be de-nied, don't be de-nied.

 -3   -6*   6   -6* -6*   6  6 6-4-3-4
Well, all that glit-ters is-n't gold
-3 -6* -6*  -6*    6    6  6  6-3    
I know you heard that stor-y told.
 7   7 -6* 7   7  7 -6*-6*-6*  6    6
And I'm a pau-per in a nak-ed dis-guise
-6*-6* -6*  -6*
A  mil-lion-aire
   -7   7 -6*   -6*  -5   -6*
through a bus-‘ness man's eyes.
-6*  6    -3  -3
Oh friend of mine
 -3  -6* 6    6 
Don't be de-nied.
