verse 1GC
Why you with your long brown hair flowing
DG
And you with your fresh tattooed skin
GC
And you from the western Virginia
DG
That you’ll never get to see again
verse 2GC
As darkness descended the desert
DG
And a bad actor starred in his play
GC
Why you from Tennessee did life capture
DG
And me from Tennessee get away
CG
And when the morning sun hit the mountains
CDEm
And a glorious still calmed the breeze
CDG
I asked the God of all knowing wisdom
CDG
Why you and why not me?
verse 3GC
Yeah the lord is my refuge and fortress
DG
My god with whom I trust
GC
But I’ll never know why the wicked
DG
Gets to prey on the best of us
verse 4GC
Why you full of life and promise
DG
At the top of your lungs so loud
GC
My songs that you sang so sweetly will ring
DG
In my ears forever now
CG
And when the morning sun hit the mountains
CDEm
And a glorious still calmed the breeze
CDG
I asked the God of all knowing wisdom
CDG
Why you and why not me?
CG
And every morning when the sun hits the mountain
CDEm
And a glorious still calms the breeze
CDG
I’ll ask the god of my salvation
CDG
Why you and why not me?
CDG
Why you and why not me?
