Wherefore and Why chords
Gordon Lightfoot

Capo III

D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm

   D MajorD          E minorEm           F# minorF#m        E minorEm  D MajorD
When I woke this morning, something inside of me, told me this would be my day
              E minorEm           F# minorF#m        E minorEm  D MajorD
I heard the morning train, I felt the wind change, too many times I'm on my way

A augmentedA    D MajorD     G+G      D MajorD
Come on sunshine, what can you show me
G+G       D MajorD     E7E7      A augmentedA
Where can you take me to make me understand
  G+G    D MajorD     G+G      D MajorD
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
  G+G    D MajorD       G+G        Asus4Asus4
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain

  D MajorD            E minorEm          F# minorF#m     E minorEm   D MajorD
And then I saw the sunrise, above the cotton sky, like a candy cane delight
          E minorEm           F# minorF#m      E minorEm   D MajorD
I saw the milkman, I saw the business man, I saw the only road in sight
            E minorEm             F# minorF#m     E minorEm        D MajorD
Then I got to thinking, what makes you want to go, to know the wherefore and the why
          E minorEm            F# minorF#m    E minorEm     D MajorD
So many times now, oh lord I can't remember, if its September or July

D MajorD E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD
                E minorEm          F# minorF#m        E minorEm   D MajorD
Then all at once it came to me, I saw the wherefore, and you can see it if you try
            E minorEm            F# minorF#m          E minorEm   D MajorD
It's in the sun above, it's in the one you love, you'll never know the reason why

A augmentedA    D MajorD     G+G      D MajorD
Come on sunshine, what can you show me
G+G       D MajorD     E7E7      A augmentedA
Where can you take me to make me understand
  G+G    D MajorD     G+G      D MajorD
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
  G+G    D MajorD       G+G        Asus4Asus4
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain

So much to lose, so much to gain

D MajorD E minorEm F# minorF#m E minorEm  D MajorD
