“Uh, this is a song called “What Good Can Drinkin' Do”, that I wrote one night after

drinking myself into a stuper.” - Janis Joplin 



B

What good can drinkin' do? What good can drinkin' do?

B		    F# 				         B

Uh when I drink all night, but the next day I still feel blue. 

 				



B

There's a glass on the table, they say it's gonna ease all my pain.

B		E 						    B

Well, there's a glass on the table, they say it's gonna ease all my pain.			  

          F# 					           B

Oh when I drink it down, but the next day I still feel the same.



B

Give me whiskey, uh give me bourbon, give me gin.

            E                                 B

Oh, give me whiskey, give me bourbon, give me gin.

         F#                                                           B

It don't matter what I'm drinkin' as long as it drowns the sorrow I'm in.





B

Now, my man he left me, child an he left me here.

       E                                B

Um, my man he left me, child he left me here.

         F#                                            B 			

When I'm feelin' low down, just gimme another drink of beer.





B

When I start drinkin' Friday, start drinkin' Friday night.

      E                                            B

Oh, I start drinkin' Friday, start drinking Friday night.

            F#                                             B

But, then I wake up on Sunday, child, ain't nothin' that's right.



B

What good can drinkin' do? What good can drinkin' do?
