Work Me Lord chords by Janis Joplin

"Work Me, Lord"

intro: F C E E7

F#m         Db   F#m        Db
    Work me Lord,   work me Lord.
E
 Please don't you leave me,
B                           B C Db
 I feel so useless down here
Db
With no one to love
F                          C
  Though I've looked everywhere
                               E
And I can't find me anybody to love,
   E7
To feel my care.

F#m   Db            F#m Db
So ah  work me Lord,     whoa use me Lord,
E
 Don't you know how hard it is
B                        B C Db
  Trying to live all alone.
Db                              F
Every day I keep trying to move forward,
                                 C
But something is driving me, oh, back,
                                        E
Honey, something's trying to hold on to me,
   E7
To my way of life.


F#m  Db
So    don't you forget me down here, Lord,
            F#m
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Db
 Ah, ah, don't you forget me, Lord.
E
  Well I don't think I'm any very special
    B                                 B C Db
Kind of person down here, I know better,
Db
But I don't think you're gonna find anybody,
          F                                        C
Not anybody   who could say that they tried like I tried,
                                E
The worst you can say all about me
            E7             B    A    E    B
Is that I'm never satisfied. Whoa.

Db
I can't find me anybody to love me
                      F
And I've looked around,
                            C
I've looked everywhere, everywhere
                              E

To feel my care.

B                                    B C Db
  Trying to live when you're all alone.
Db
Everyday I keep pushing,
                          F
Keep trying to move forward
                                 C
But something is driving me, oh, back,
                                     E
And something's trying to hold on to me,
   E7              F#m
To my way of life, why.

   F
Oh please, please, oh don't you go and
      C
Forget me down here, don't forget me, Lord.
                   E
I think that maybe you can ease me,
            E7                B
Maybe I can help you, said uh whoa,
   F                                C
Oh please, please, don't you go and leave me Lord,
            E       E7      N.C
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, whoa, whoa please,
                                                                       Am  (play and fade)
