verse 1
G C
Why you with your long brown hair flowing
D G
And you with your fresh tattooed skin
G C
And you from the western Virginia
D G
That you’ll never get to see again
verse 2
G C
As darkness descended the desert
D G
And a bad actor starred in his play
G C
Why you from Tennessee did life capture
D G
And me from Tennessee get away
C G
And when the morning sun hit the mountains
C D Em
And a glorious still calmed the breeze
C D G
I asked the God of all knowing wisdom
C D G
Why you and why not me?

Yeah the lord is my refuge and fortress

My god with whom I trust

But I’ll never know why the wicked

Gets to prey on the best of us

Why you full of life and promise
D G
At the top of your lungs so loud
G C
My songs that you sang so sweetly will ring
D G
In my ears forever now
C G
And when the morning sun hit the mountains
C D Em
And a glorious still calmed the breeze
C D G
I asked the God of all knowing wisdom
C D G
Why you and why not me?
C G
And every morning when the sun hits the mountain
C D Em
And a glorious still calms the breeze
C D G
I’ll ask the god of my salvation
C D G
Why you and why not me?
C D G
Why you and why not me?
