Delbert McClinton, Why Me? (1992)
Key: :[A#] (w: Fred Knobloch, Delbert McClinton) (BPM: 160)
INTRO: [A#]
VERSE 1:
I
[A#] met her in a night club over on the lower east
[D#] side
I was
[F] workin' with my head down tryin' to keep the groove a-
[A#]-live
She
[A#] looked like a bunny out of Playboy maga-
[D#]-zine
I just
[F] had to meet her; she was the cutest thing I'd ever
[A#] seen
VERSE 2:
She had
[A#] high heel boots, blonde hair and big blue
[D#] eyes
The way she was
[F] movin' to the music had me hypno-
[A#]-tized
I
[A#] ran up to her, said, "Baby, what's your
[D#] name?"
I
[F] should've know better; now I've only got myself to
[A#] blame
CHORUS:
[A#] Why, why, why
[D#] me?
[F] Fallin' like this is the very last thing I
[A#] need
If I
[A#] had any sense, you know, I'd turn right around and
[D#] leave
I said
[A#] why,
[F] why, why
[A#] me?
BREAK: [over VERSE]
VERSE 2:
[A#] Started drinkin' champagne, makin' every joint in
[D#] town
[F] Bam A hundred dollars every time I turned a-
[A#]-round
[A#] 'bout the time my money ran out, you know, my honey was
[D#] gone
And I was
[F] cryin' out loud to myself, as I was walkin'
[A#] home
REPEAT CHORUS:
