[Chorus]
G       C
Tell me why baby  why baby  why baby why
            G                   D7       G
You make me cry baby  cry baby  cry baby cry    
  C
I can't help but love you till the day that I die
           G                 D7       G
So tell me why baby why baby why baby why
 
[Verse 1]
                          D7
well I got a crow I wanna pick with you 
     C                       G
Just like last time when the feathers flew 
                              D7
You're running wild a-kicking up your heels
  C                      D7           G
A leaving me home with a hand full of bills
 
                                 D7
I can't live without you and you know it's true
    C                             G
But there's no living with you so what'll I do
                               D7
I'm going honky tonking get as tight as I can
    C                         D7           G
And maybe by then you'll appreciate a good man  
 
[Chorus]
        C
Tell me why baby why baby  why baby why
            G                  D7       G
You make me cry baby cry baby  cry baby cry  
  C
I can't live without you till the day that I die
           G                  D7       G
So tell me why baby why baby  why baby why
[Verse 2]
                           D7
Well I don't know but I've heard say
C                         G
Every little dog is gonna have his day
                                 D7
You'd better pay attention don't you dare forget
          C                      D7    G
Cause I'm certainly not a little puppy yet
 
                                D7
I caught you honky tonking with my best friend
    C                               G
The thing to do was leave you but I should'a left then
                                   D7
Now I'm too old to leave you but I still get sore
         C                         D7          G
When you come home feeling for the knob on the door 
[Chorus]
        C
Tell me why baby why baby  why baby why
            G                  D7       G
You make me cry baby cry baby  cry baby cry  
  C
I can't live without you till the day that I die
           G                  D7       G
