Subject: RE: Tune Req: 'You Better Get It While You Can'
Hi there, I got this song by searching for Janis Joplin lyrics, it might have been from this site.
I would have passed over any references to tab for this one as I havn't got around to learning it properly, if you do a search for Janis I think you would come up with something.
Anyway here's the version I have. Great song by the way.
GET IT WHILE YOU CAN
C Em
1. In this world, if you read the papers, Lord,
F C
you know everybody's fighting on with each other.
You got no one you can count on, baby,
Bb F
not even your own brother.
C E
So if someone comes along,
F G#
he's gonna give you some love and affection.
C - Bb - F
I'd say, get it while you can, yeah!
C - Bb - F
Honey, get it while you can,
C - G
hey, hey, get it while you can,
Am G
don't you turn your back on love, no, no!
C Em
2. Don't you know when you're loving anybody, baby,
F C
you're taking a gamble on a little sorrow.
But then who cares, baby,
Bb F
'cause we may not be here tomorrow, no.
C E
And if anybody should come along,
F G#
he gonna give you any love and affection. + CHORUS
C Em F C E F G# + CHORUS + CHORUS ....
(Janis Joplin)
Cheers for now, hope this helps. (And get a listen to Janice singing it if you can, it's superb)
