Billy Joel - Don't Ask Me Why Transpose up Transpose down

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

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

As E7sure as I’m a victim of Adesi-D7i-ire

GAll the servants in your Anew hotel
