TELL ME WHY (by Karla Bonoff; recorded by Wynonna Judd)
-------------------------------------------------------
[Actually in Eb; play in D and capo 1, or play in C and capo 3.]
[Each chord is one measure, except "G - D" is one measure total.]
[In the parts that go D G-D A A, play a short G right before the first D;
I marked it with parentheses here.]
D G - D A A (G) D G - D A A (G)
intro
D G - D A A (G) D G - D A A
intro
Everywhere I look the sun is shining
But it's always raining here inside
I can see you really had a hold on me
It's a mean old love, with a flame that never dies
(G) D G - D A A
Won't you tell me why- yi- yi- yiy
(G) D G - D A A
I can't say goodbye- yi- yi- yiy
Everywhere I go you're in my shadow
When I turn around there's no one there
And it's a real bad sign, I'm walking on a real thin line
The fool in love with the fool that never cared
So won't you tell me why-yi-yi-yiy
I can't say goodbye-yi-yi-yiy
Won't you tell me why-yi-yi-yiy
Ask anyone you know, and they'll say love fades away
But this heart's crying just like yesterday
guitar solo, same chords as chorus
And it's a real bad sign, I'm walking on a real thin line
The fool in love, the fool that never cared
So won't you tell me why-yi-yi-yiy
I won't say goodbye-yi-yi-yiy
Won't you tell me why-yi-yi-yiy
I can't say goodbye-yiyiyiyi-yiy
[instrumental, same chords as chorus; repeat and fade]
