Version 1

            OH WHY?
As recorded by Little Richard
(From the 1957 Album HERE'S LITTLE RICHARD)

[Verse 1]
C  N.C.
I dreamed I was arrested
N.C.
Charged with a crime
N.C.
Forgot to plead innocent
N.C.
Because darling, you're not mine

[Chorus]
F
Oh why?
              C
Why should it happen to me?
          G         C
Well, I'm fine with it
        C
Have mercy on me

[Verse 1]
C   N.C.
The policeman said maybe
N.C.
The judge he can agree
N.C.
The jury keep on guessing
N.C.
But the DA says it's me

[Chorus]
F
Oh why?
              C
Why should it happen to me?
          G         C
Well, I'm fine with it
        C
Have mercy on me

[Verse 2]
C   N.C.
The lawyer said, plead guilty
N.C.
And try to cop a plea
N.C.
But why should I try plead guilty
N.C.
When you don't belongs to me?

[Chorus]
F
Oh why?
              C
Why should it happen to me?
          G         C
Well, I'm fine with it
        C          Am
Have mercy on me

[Sax Solo]
C     F     C
Gm  F   C

[Verse 3]
C   N.C.
The policeman said maybe
N.C.
The judge he can agree
N.C.
The jury keep on guessing
N.C.
But the DA says it's me

[Chorus]
F
Oh why?
              C
Why should it happen to me?
          G         C
Well, I'm fine with it
        C
Have mercy on me
