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