Why I Don't Know by Lyle Lovett
Why I Don't Know
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: A
[Intro]
A Dm
[Verse]
A
Was it the champagne
Dm A
Was it the caviar
E
Was it her airplane
A
Was it her daddy's car
D
Was it the new thing
A
With all the dough
E
Why, I don't know
A Dm
I just had to go
A
Was that the yacht club
Dm A
Or just a fishing boat
E
Was that a leg of lamb
A
Or was it billy goat
D
Was that a snail, baby
A
Or escargot
E
Why, I don't know
A Dm
I just had to go
[Chorus]
D
I'm just a poor boy
A
I like to have fun
E A
I know a pretty girl when I see one
D
I've seen the real thing
A
The imitation, too, baby
E
So don't go telling me what to do
[Verse]
A
Was that a beer joint
Dm A
Or was that the country club
E
Were we fooling around
A
Or was it truly love
D
Was that a foreign film
A
Or just a show
E
Why, I don't know
A Dm
I just had to go
[Chorus]
D
I'm just a poor boy
A
I like to have fun
E A
I know a pretty girl when I see one
D
I've seen the real thing
A
The imitation, too, baby
E
So don't go telling me what to do
A
So keep your champagne
Dm A
And keep your caviar
E
And fly your airplane
A
To your daddy's car
D
And so you'll understand
A
I'll tell you slow
E
Why, I don't know
A Dm
I just had to go
A
Why, I don't know
E
Why, I don't know
A Dm
I just had to go
A
Why, I don't know
E
Why, I don't know
A Dm
Why, I don't know
