Dear Landlord

Intro: FA  FA  FG

Dear Landlord
                                Em
Please don't put a price on my soul.
Am        G          F
My burden is heavy, dear,
F           Em            Dm  
And my dreams are beyond my control,                 
Oh yes, they are.
Fm
But when that steam-boat whistle blows,
Bb                                C
Oh, honey I'm gonna give you everything I ever had to give, yeah,
D                        Bb                     
And I do hope that you can receive it well,
Am                                   G                          F        FG
I know that it must be dependin' on the way you feel that you live.
Whoa, Landlord,
Please heed these words that I try to speak.
I know you must have suffered much,
But honey you ain't alone, you ain't so unique.
No no no, no, no.
All of us at times, I said, we might have worked too hard
Or too heavy, too fast and way too rushed, yeah!
But everyone can fill their life with anything
You can look around, but baby you just cannot touch.
Whoa, my Dear Landlord,
Please don't you dismiss my case.
I'm not about to argue with you,
And honey I'll tell ya, I'm ain't gonna move to no other place.
'Cause I just ain't gonna do it, no, no, no.
Each of us must have their own special gift,
Oh honey, don't you know that it's got to be true
And if you don't underestimate me, I'll tell you one thing,
I said that I won't underestimate you, no!

Mercedes Benz
Tom: D
Spoken : I'd like to do a song of great social and political 
importance. It goes like this :
       D
1. Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
    My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
    Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
                                  A        D
    so, Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ? 
       D
2. Oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV ?
    Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me.
    I wait for delivery each day until three,
                                     A     D
    So, oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV ? 
       D
3. Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town ?
    I'm counting on you, Lord, please don't let me down.
    Prove that you love me and buy the next round,
                                 A            D
    oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town ? 
Repeat verse 1           

 

Me And Bobby McGee
Tom: C
C
Busted flat in Baton Rauge, waitin' for the train.
                           G
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans.
Bobby flagged a diesel down, just before it rained,
                             C
took us all the way to New Orleans.
I took my harp out, of my dirty red bandanna,
                      C7             F
was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues.
With those windshield wipers slappin' time,
    C
and Bobby clappin' hands,
G                              C
we sung every song that driver knew.


CHORUS:
F                               C
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose.
G                                    C
nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free.
F                                C
Feelin' good was easy, Lord when Bobby sang the blues.
G
Feelin' good was good enough for me,
                             C
good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

C
From the coal mines of Kentucky, to the California sun,
                               G
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Standin' right beside me Lord, through everything I done.
                                C
Every night he kept me from the cold.
Then somewhere near Salinas, I let him slip away.
                  C7              F
Searchin' for the home I hoped to find.
                                    C
And I'd give all my tomorrows for a single yesterday,
G                            C
holdin' Bobby's body next to mine.
(Chorus)
