Why Should I Worry

Biography:

Billy Joel (born William Martin Joel on May 9, 1949 in Bronx, New York, USA) is an American pianist, singer-songwriter, and composer. Since releasing his first hit song, "Piano Man," in 1973, Joel has become a multi-million-selling recording artist. Joel recorded many popular hit songs and albums from 1971 until he stopped recording pop/rock music in 1993. He is one of the very few rock (or even pop) artists to have Top 10 hits in the '70s, '80s, and '90s.

This tab isn't of the entire song. Specifically I left out the "They love me at the
they adore me at the Ritz" because it's somewhat un-melodic and I couldn't really figure it out.

I wrote these tabs with timing in mind. I put the chords over the word it should be played on.
In some cases it's over the part of the word it should be played. example; F starts on
'lancey' in 'Delancey'.

Here are the chords I use:

E A D G B e
G 3-5-5-4-3-3-|
F 1-3-3-2-1-1-|
Eb x-6-8-8-8-6-|
Bb 6-8-8-7-6-6-|
D x-5-7-7-7-5-|
Eb7 x-6-8-6-8-6-|
Em 0-2-2-0-0-0-|
D* x-0-0-2-3-2-|
C x-3-2-0-1-0-|

[Verse 1]
