TELL ME WHY (recorded by Wynonna Judd)
--------------------------------------
[Actually in Eb; play in D and capo 1, or play in C and capo 3.  I think.]
[Each chord is one measure, except "G - D" is one measure total.]
[In the parts that go D G-D A A, play a short G right before the first D;
 I marked it with parentheses here.]

     -             ()      -             ()
[intro]
     -             ()      -         
[intro]

                              
Everywhere I look the sun is shining
                               
But it's always raining here inside
                             
I can see you really had a hold on me
                                                
It's a mean old love, with a flame that never dies

             ()       -       
Won't you tell me why- yi- yi- yiy
          ()        -       
I can't say goodbye- yi- yi- yiy

Everywhere I go you're in my shadow
When I turn around there's no one there
And it's a real bad sign, I'm walking on a real thin line
The fool in love, the fool that never cared

So won't you tell me why-yi-yi-yiy
I can't say goodbye-yi-yi-yiy
Won't you tell me why-yi-yi-yiy

                                               
Ask anyone you know, and they'll say love fades away
                                 
But this heart's crying just like yesterday

[guitar solo, same chords as chorus]

And it's a real bad sign, I'm walking on a real thin line
The fool in love, the fool that never cared

So won't you tell me why-yi-yi-yiy
I won't say goodbye-yi-yi-yiy
Won't you tell me why-yi-yi-yiy
I can't say goodbye-yiyiyiyi-yiy

[instrumental, same chords as chorus; repeat and fade]
