Lyle Lovett – Why I Dont Know (Guitar)

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

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
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

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
