Biography:
Linda Thompson (born Linda Pettifer) started her singing career in the 1960s, doing advertising jingles for money and singing in folk clubs for enjoyment. She changed her name to Linda Peters, and was romantically linked to Martin Carthy before working with Richard Thompson, whom she married in 1972. As part of Richard & Linda Thompson she sang on a string of critically acclaimed albums until a bitter split in 1982. After battling voice problems over the years since, she resurfaced with a solo album in 1996, and has worked sporadically since.

Linda Thompson - Do Your Best For Rock 'N Roll
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
F G C G C
[Verse 1]
C
I feel no pain
F
But I'm so dry
C
Take me to a bar
G
And leave me there to die
[Verse 2]
C
The party's nearly over
F
The guests are all but dead
G
Take 'em to the graveyard
C
Lay 'em down instead
[Chorus]
F
So, if there is a god
C
Save my soul
G
And if you can't do that
C G C
Just do your best for rock 'n roll
[Verse 3]
C
We've lived a lot of years
F
Almost every place
C
There's a chance that I might miss you
G
It's a chance I'm gonna take
[Verse 4]
C
So, grind me down like glass
F
Crush my heart
G
Turn it into junk
C
Recycle the good parts
[Chorus]
F
So, if there is a god
C
Save my soul
G
And if you can't do that
C G C
Just do your best for rock 'n roll
[Bridge]
F
Mother of Jesus
C
Give me your light divine
G
And if you can't do that
C
Give me some holy wine
[Chorus]
F
So, if there is a god
C
Save my soul
G
And if you can't do that
C
Just do your best for rock 'n roll
G
And if you can't do that
C G C
Just do your best for rock 'n roll
