Why Me

Capo 1 Verse I G Sometimes I go walking through the long tall grass Cadd9 Wonder how long hard times will last G Gmaj7 Bmaug5 G6th Cadd9 For this backward soul on a road that god knows where G As hard as I try ain''t left no track Cadd9 It''s not enough to find my way back G Gmaj7 Bmaug 5 G6th Cadd9 I hit the ground like broken glass and just lay there Chorus G Cadd9 Singing why me, oh why me G Gmaj7 Bmaug5 G6th Cadd9 And I throw another empty bottle up against the wall G Cadd9 And I say why me, oh why me G Gmaj7 Bmaug5 G6th Cadd9 But pitty never ever did me any kinda good at all Cadd9 So I walk on Verse II And I wound up on the capital steps Watching the lobbyists smoking cigarettes As They compare their shoes and their country club dues And who got who by the short hairs Standing there in their high dollar suits Looking down at my tattered old jeans and boots And this weathered guitar that seems to follow me everywhere God it follows me everywhere Chorus Playing why me, oh why me All I got''s another song about how money makes and breaks the law And I sing why me, oh why me I''m just a broke troubadore with a bark for the underdog So I walk on Bridge D, C, D, C Verse III Now I ain''t Jesus, but I can relate To a man looking death square in the face Even he hit his knees with a plea in the garden of gethsemane To his holy father he raised his eyes In his darkest hours he cried Please would you take this cup from me Chorus Praying why me, oh why me Knowing all the while he had to carry that cross and hang there When I say why me, oh me I know that somewhere up in heaven there''s a big old book with my name there So I walk on, I rock on Even when I''m singing, why me, I rock on Even when I''m singing, why me, I rock on Even when I''m singing, why me Chords: G - 330023 Cadd9 - 330230 Gmaj7 - 330002 Bmaug5 - 330020 G6th - 330200
