Subject: Piece Of My Heart...From Bill

Artist: Janis Joplin
Song: Piece Of My Heart
Album: I don't really know.  I know it's on the Greatest Hits album.

E: 022100
A: 007655
B: 009877
C: X35555
B2:X24444
D: X57777
lower case letters are used to denote single notes.


  It was difficult for me to accurately correspond the chords and the words,
so here's the shortcut I'm using:

     VERSE: E, A, B,  A,  E, repeat throughout verse.

     BRIDGE: C, B2,  D,  B2  Hold on to B2 "...I want you to come on, come
on, come on, 
come on and TAKE IT! Take another little piece of my heart..."   

     CHORUS: From "TAKE IT!" E,  A,  B,  Thoughout Chorus.

                                            c         b    a     E         
     "You know you got it, if it makes you feel good..."


This transcription could be miles off or totally on the money, but this is
how I figured it out, and this is how I play it.  I'm not going to post the
lyrics right now, but I will if I get E-mail requesting such.  Enjoy!

No Worries!

CHORUS
F#m    A    B  B  B   F#m

     These are the best I could come up with from listening to the CD.  Words
like "nowb" are typed correctly, it just sounds like that's what she's
singing according to the CD.  Any corrections are welcome.  Thanks everyone
for being patient.  I sent in "Waste" by Phish to OLGA a few weeks ago, so
who knows how ling it will take to get this posted.  In any case, ENJOY!  You
may have to listen to the CD to get the correct timing and the improv on each
chorus.
