I was wondering could you tell me a couple of things
C D Em Em
If you’re not too busy this morning
Em Em D D
I was wondering could you tell me why the whippoorwill sings
C D Em Em
‘fore the sun breaks the sky in the morning
Em Em D D
Could you tell me why you left me so long ago
C D Em Em
Why you left me that day without warning
Em Em D D
If you answer correctly I just might let you go
C D Em Em
If not then I guess they’ll be mourning
Em Em D D
Where’s that handsome young man to whom you gave your sweet hand
C D Em Em
Your young knight in his shiny bright armor
Em Em D D
He was a dandy young puff but when the going got rough
C D Em Em
He did not last more than one short half hour
D D C C
He said take her and spare him And I thought how dare him
C D Em Em
I gutted him like a dead chicken
Em Em D D
You fell for that fraud ‘cause your judgement is flawed
C D Em Em
Guess you always knew how to pick 'em
Em Em D D
Don’t look so shocked at the one who you mocked
C D Em Em
It’s not so long ago you’ve forgotten
Em Em D D
You can rest now ensured that my love will endure
C D Em Em
Long after your carcass is rotten
Em Em D D
I was wondering if you could tell me a couple of things
C D Em Em
I don’t think you’re too busy this morning
