Verse 1:

  G+G               C majorC
Why you with your long brown hair flowing
  D MajorD              G+G
And you with your fresh tattooed skin
  G+G          C majorC
And you from the western Virginia
      D MajorD         G+G
That you’ll never get to see again

Verse 2:
  G+G           C majorC
As darkness descended the desert
   D MajorD            G+G
And a bad actor starred in his play
  G+G              C majorC
Why you from Tennessee did life capture
  D MajorD           G+G
And me from Tennessee get away

Chorus:
       C majorC          G+G
And when the morning sun hit the mountains
   C majorC    D MajorD        E minorEm
And a glorious still calmed the breeze
      C majorC     D MajorD    G+G
I asked the God of all knowing wisdom
  C majorC    D MajorD    G+G
Why you and why not me?

Verse 3:
     G+G           C majorC
Yeah the lord is my refuge and fortress
  D MajorD        G+G
My god with whom I trust
     G+G         C majorC
But I’ll never know why the wicked
    D MajorD          G+G
Gets to prey on the best of us

{Verse 4}
  G+G          C majorC
Why you full of life and promise
    D MajorD          G+G
At the top of your lungs so loud
  G+G                  C majorC
My songs that you sang so sweetly will ring
   D MajorD      G+G
In my ears forever now

Chorus:
       C majorC          G+G
And when the morning sun hit the mountains
   C majorC    D MajorD        E minorEm
And a glorious still calmed the breeze
      C majorC     D MajorD    G+G
I asked the God of all knowing wisdom
  C majorC    D MajorD    G+G
Why you and why not me?

Chorus:
     C majorC               G+G
And every morning when the sun hits the mountain
   C majorC       D MajorD     E minorEm
And a glorious still calms the breeze
       C majorC   D MajorD    G+G
I’ll ask the god of my salvation
  C majorC    D MajorD    G+G
Why you and why not me?
  C majorC    D MajorD    G+G
Why you and why not me?
