If You can't say no
Lenny Kravitz
Lp: 5
Verse chords: Em ; Bm7
Chorus: I think Lenny uses the bridge pick-up
-----7-7---------7-7----- -----7-7--------7-7-----
-----8-8---------8-8----- -----7-7--------7-7-----
-----9-9---------9-9----- -----7-7--------7-7-----
-----9-9---------9-9----- -----7-7--------7-7-----
----(7-7)-------(7-7)---- ------------------------
------------------------- ----(7-7)------(7-7)----
I dont think Lenny plays the root of the chord; only the four top
strings
Bridge
--------------------------------------------------
--------------12----------------------------------
--------------12---------------7------------------
-7------------12---------------7------------------
-7------------10----------------------------------
-5------------10---------------7------------------
Repeat and instead of A5, start with Em.
Guitar solo in Bm:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/l/lenny_kravitz/if_you_cant_say_no_tab.html ]
-------------------------------------------------- do this twice with
-------------------------------------------------- slight variatons.
-------7-7h9~~~~------(10)r9p7--------------------
------------------7h9----------9~~~~~~~-----------
--------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------
e------7---10b12~~~~----10--(14)r12p10--10--------
b-----7--------------12---------------12---12~~~~-
g----7--------------------------------------------
b--------7--9b11r9~~-----(11)r9p7---7-------------
g---7-7hp-----------7--9----------9---9~~~~~~\----
At the end the rythm guitar plays in the outro chorus instead of just
Bm7 something like this:
Em (Bm7)
---7-7-----------7-7--- --7-7-x-x-9-9-x-x-10-10-x-x-12-12--
---8-8-----------8-8--- --7-7-x-x-9-9-x-x-10-10-x-x-12-12--
---9-9-----------9-9--- --7-7-x-x-9-9-x-x-10-10-x-x-12-12--
---9-9-----------9-9--- --7-7-x-x-9-9-x-x-10-10-x-x-12-12--

Keep in mind that I tabbed this song without listening to the track;
so the key may be wrong. The solo is surely not perfect, but I
think it is easy to figure out.
