Billy Joel - Don't Ask Me Why
Originally in Bb, I play in G capo 2
Intro... not worth playing this on guitar, but if I had to make chords here...
G→ C/G→ C7/Gx4
Vox on the 5 on “all”
GAll the waiters in your Agrand café
DLeave their tables when you Gblink, C/Goh-oh, oh
GEvery dog must have his Aevery day
DEvery drunk must have his drGink
GDon’t B7/F#wait for Emanswers
Just G7/Dtake your C#m7b5chances
Don’t Dask me whGy
G
GAll your life you had to Astand in line
DStill you’re standing on your Gfeet, C/Goh-oh, oh
GAll your choices made you Achange your mind
DNow your calendar’s complGete
GDon’t B7/F#wait for Emanswers
Just G7/Dtake your C#m7b5chances
Don’t Dask me whGy
Bridge, vox on the 5 of the chord on “you”
Hmmm, Dyou can say the human heart is Conly make believe
And DI am only fighting fire with fGire C/G→ G
But E7you are still a victim of the Aaccidents you leave
As E7sure as I’m a victim of Adesi-D7i-ire
GAll the servants in your Anew hotel
DThrow their roses at your Gfeet, C/Goh-oh, oh
GFool them all but baby AI can tell
DYou’re no stranger to the stGreet
GDon’t B7/F#ask for Emfavors
Don’tG7/Dtalk to sC#m7b5trangers
Not a typo, he says “aks” this time
Don’t Daks me whGy
Piano solo on bridge chords
