You Cant Have Me by Big Star

Big Star
"You Can't Have Me"
from the album Third/Sister Lovers (1978)

Considering this is one of the more guitar-heavy tracks from the record, I was quite
surprised to find chords/tabs hadn't been submitted for it yet. As with much of
Third/Sister Lovers, there is a lot of noodling that deviates from this very skeletal 
chord progression, so make your own way through it. This is a fun, simple song that sounds 
awesome with
plenty of distortion and loud drums.
