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