Ball and Chain piano leadsheet with chords

Level 4D90 BPMJanis Joplin
Getting the sheet readyPip is finding the first note.

Sittin' by my window,

and I was lookin' out at the rain.

I said, Sittin' by my window,

baby, and I was sittin' there lookin' out at the rain.

You know you somethin' struck me,

clamped on to me just like a...

just like a ball mis and chain.

I said, oh, oh, by my baby,

why you wanna do these ol' mean things?

I said, Sit oh, by my oh,

dow, baby, why you wanna do these ol' mean things at to me?

Because you know I love you,

and I'm so sick and tired a...

of livin' in misery.

I said, I said that love's gonna last with you forever,

it's gonna last.

I said it's gonna last,

oh, great God Almighty, for all eternity,

Whoa, yeah.
