Janis Joplin - Mercedes Benz

Originally in D, I play in E

Spoken

I’d like to do a song of great social and political import

Vox on the 5

Oh lEord, won’t you buy me a AMercedes EBenz?

My fEriends all drive Porsches, I F#mmust make amB7ends

Worked Ehard all my lifetime, no Ehelp from my Afriends

So Elord, won’t you buy me a B7Mercedes EBenz?

Oh lEord, won’t you buy me a Acolor TEV?

“EDialing for dollars“ is tF#mrying to find B7me

I Ewait for delivery each Eday until thAree

So oh Elord, won’t you buy me a B7color TEV?

Oh Elord, won’t you buy me a Anight on the Etown?

I’m Ecounting on you, lord, pF#mlease don’t let me B7down

EProve that you love me and Ebuy the next roAund

Oh Elord, won’t you buy me a B7night on the Etown

Oh lEord, won’t you buy me a AMercedes EBenz?

My Efriends all drive Porsches, I mF#must make aB7mends

Worked Ehard all my lifetime, no Ahelp from my frEiends

So Elord, won’t you buy me a B7Mercedes EBenz

So Elord, won’t you buy me a B7Mercedes EBenz
