[Chorus]
        C                       C
Tell me why baby, why baby,       why baby why?
            G                   D7          G
You make me cry baby, cry baby,    cry baby cry    
  C                                C  
I can't help but love you till the day that I die
           G*                  N.C.          G
So tell me why baby, why baby,     why baby why
 
[Verse 1]
      G                    D7
Well, I got a crow I wanna pick with you 
     C                       G
Just like last time when the   feathers flew 
       G                        D7
You're runnin' wild, a-kickin' up your heels
  C                      D7           G
A-leavin' me home with a hand full of bills
 
        G                              D7
Well, I can't live without you and you know it's true
    C                              G
But there's no livin' with you, so what'll I do?
    G                            D7
I'm goin' honky tonkin', get as tight as I can
    C                           D7           G  
And maybe by then, you'll appreciate a good man  
 
[Chorus]
        C                       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*                  N.C.          G
So tell me why baby, why baby,     why baby why

[Verse 2]
     G                           D7
Well I don't know but I've heard say
      C                          G
That every little dog's  a-gonna have his day
      G                              D7
You'd better pay attention don't you dare forget
        C                      D7       G
'Cause I'm just a little bitty   puppy yet
 
         G                            D7
Yeah, I caught you honky tonkin' 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 a-feelin' for the knob on the door 

[Chorus]
        C                       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*                  N.C.          G
So tell me why baby, why baby,     why baby why
