C

Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why

G - D G

you make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry ?

C

I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die,

C G - D G

so tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why ?

G D

1. Well, I got a crow I wanna pick with you,

C - G

just like last time when the feathers flew.

G D

You're runnin' wild, kickin' up your heels

C G

a-leavin' me home with a hand full of bills.

G D

2. I can't live without you and you know it's true,

C G

but there's no livin' with you, so what'll I do ?

G D

I'm goin' honky tonkin', get as drunk as I can,

C G

and maybe by then you'll 'preciate a good man.

+ CHORUS

+ C - G - D - G (2x)

C

+ Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why

G - D G

you make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry ?

G D

3. Well, I don't know, but I've heard say,

C G

every little dog is gonna have his day.

G D

You'd better pay attention, don't you dare forget,

C G

‘cause you turned me not just a little puppy yet.

G D

4. I caught you honky tonkin' with my best friend,

C G

what I should have done was quit you way back then.

G D

Now I'm too old to leave you, but I still get sore,

C G

when you come home a-feelin' for the knock on the door.

C

Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why

G - D G

you make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry ?

C

I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die,

C G - D G

so tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why ?
