Get it while you can       (Listen to sample)

 

                 C                              Em

1. In this world, if you read the papers, Lord,

                                         F                                C

    you know everybody's fighting on with each other.

                 

    You got no one you can count on, baby,

                    Bb             F

    not even your own brother.

              C                          E

    So if someone comes along,

                        F                                      G#

    he's gonna give you some love and affection.

 

                  C                                       - Bb - F

    I'd say, get it while you can, yeah!

                  C                           - Bb - F

    Honey, get it while you can,

                     C                            - G

    hey, hey, get it while you can,

                                                 Am         G

    don't you turn your back on love, no, no!

 

                        C                        Em

2. Don't you know when you're loving anybody, baby,

F                                                        C

    you're taking a gamble on a little sorrow.

                           

    But then who cares, baby,

                                         Bb        F

    'cause we may not be here tomorrow, no.

               C                                   E

    And if anybody should come along,

                      F                                   G#

    he gonna give you any love and affection.  + CHORUS
