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