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