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