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