Janis Joplin
Oh, Sweet Mary
Yeah!

[Verse 1]
Oh, sweet Mary, child of confusion
She runs the hills to cry
Past the willows or an illusion
Lord, tell me the reason why

[Chorus]
Tell me why, why is it all so hard?
Breathing in the air (breathe in the air)
Anyone to care, oh!

(Alright, yeah!)

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 2]
Oh, sweet Mary, in our story
Have we nothing left to give?
But don't we all know, babe, if we're pressed to
That that's the way we live

[Chorus]
Tell me why, why is it all so hard?
Breathing in the air (breathing in the air)
Anyone to care, oh, yeah!
Alright now!

Hop now, hop now, hop now, hop now, hop now, hop now
Hop now, hop now, hop now, hop now, hop now, hop now, whoa, yeah!
