Why Don’t You Try Me—Ry Cooder

E MajorE            BB     A augmentedA          E MajorE
If your man has got you on the run why don't you try me ?
E MajorE          BB          A augmentedA         E MajorE
If you wanna have a little fun, oh baby, why don't you try me ?
E MajorE        BB         A augmentedA           E MajorE
If you got more than you can bear, if your troubles been more than your share
E MajorE            BB        A augmentedA          E MajorE
And if things are not going just right why don't you try a man like me tonight ?


E MajorE         BB
Why don't you try me tonight ?
A augmentedA         E MajorE
Why don't you try me ?
E MajorE         BB
Why don't you try me tonight ?
A augmentedA         E MajorE
Why don't you try me ?

E MajorE           BB
Last night while I was trying to sleep
A augmentedA               E MajorE
I heard a racket from the room next door, hum
E MajorE               BB
And that was you and your man havin' a fight
A augmentedA            E MajorE
Like you've done so many nights before
E MajorE                   BB
"Woman, I'll turn you every which way but loose"
A augmentedA          E MajorE
Is what I heard him shout, uh-oh, look out!
E MajorE                BB
So I jumped out of the bed and I opened the door
A augmentedA            E MajorE
Just as you came runnin' out

        E MajorE         BB
And I hollered: why don't you try me tonight ?
A augmentedA         E MajorE
Why don't you try me ?
E MajorE         BB
Why don't you try me tonight ?
A augmentedA         E MajorE
Why don't you try me ?



E MajorE              BB
I ain't saying I'm all that you need
A augmentedA                   E MajorE
And I won't tell you, honey, you will be free
E MajorE              BB
But all night, well, I will keep trying
A augmentedA                      E MajorE
And when I say I want ya, girl, you know I'm not lyin'
E MajorE                BB
You see a good woman out on the streets these days, friends
A augmentedA                E MajorE
Ah, a bad old man can't be hard to find, no, no
E MajorE              BB
Kind of man who'd steal your heart
A augmentedA          E MajorE
And call true love a crime

n/c
That's why I keep asking ya, baby
E MajorE          BB
Why don't you try me tonight ?
n/c
Do yourself a favor
A augmentedA         E MajorE
Why don't you try me ?
E MajorE             BB
Regular man ain't treatin' you right
A augmentedA              BB
Why don't you try a man like me tonight ?
A augmentedA         E MajorE
Why don't you try me ?
E MajorE              BB
Why don't you try a man like me tonight ?
A augmentedA         E MajorE
Why don't you try me ?
