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