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)

Cheers
