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