Covered by countless garage bands (including the fledgling MC5 - beat *that* for punk credentials) although the version I heard most often as a beat-crazed teen was by the Bram Rigg Set. Killer fuzz guitar riff so simple anyone can play it - which of course was the entire idea. -- AWR "I Can Only Give You Everything" (Van Morrison) Intro: (fuzz guitar [4X; bass and drums enter 3rd time]): v v v v -----------------| -----------------| -----------------| -------------3---| ---------3-------| -3-----3---------| Verse 1: I can’t give you more than what I’ve got You can’t expect to get what I have not I... can only give you lovin’ ’til the sun goes down And... until the leaves of summer turn to shades of brown I try and I try But baby you know that I Can only give you everything Verse 2 (organ enters): Why can’t I get you to understand ’Cause after all I am just a man You... are on my mind when stars appear and shadows fall And... when every little flower blooms and bluebirds call I try and I try But baby you know that I Can only give you everything Instrumental break: (organ solo over intro riff 7X) / / / / (key changes to Ab) Verse 3: I’ll do anything you want me to do ’Cause I don’t want to know this life without you Oh... don’t ever go and leave me in this world alone I’d... be like a little child if I was on my own I try and I try But baby you know that I Can only give you everything Coda: (rant over chord progression): Everything baby A little bit of this A little bit of that Everything oh... -- another ace 60’s tab from Andrew Rogers

La chanson évoque les limites de ce que l'on peut offrir à l'autre dans une relation amoureuse. Le narrateur exprime son désir de donner tout l'amour qu'il peut, tout en reconnaissant qu'il ne peut pas offrir plus que ce qu'il a déjà. Il décrit son attachement profond et sa crainte de la solitude, soulignant combien cette personne lui tient à cœur. Le style musical, influencé par le punk et le garage rock, ajoute une touche énergique et brute, ce qui reflète parfaitement les émotions intenses de l’artiste. Dans les années 60, cette sonorité a trouvé un écho particulier parmi les jeunes de l'époque, désireux d'exprimer leur rébellion et leur passion.
