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