William Martin Joel, conhecido como Billy Joel (Hicksville, 9 de maio de 1949), é um cantor e pianista norte-americano.
Conhecido como The Piano Man, Billy Joel manteve um grande sucesso por duas décadas, mesmo se recusando a seguir as exigências de sua gravadora, que queria somente material comercial. O primeiro êxito do cantor foi "Captain Jack", que rendeu um contrato longo com a Columbia Records.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHY SHOULD I WORRY? - Billy Joel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- from Disney's Oliver & Co. soundtrack
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:
EADGB 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]
GFGF One minute I'm in Central Park GFGF Then I'm down on Delancey Street GFGF From the Bow'ry to St Marks GFGF There's a syncopated Beat
[Pre-Chorus]
GFGF Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo GFGF I'm streetwise, I can improvise GFGF Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo GFGF I'm streetsmart, I've got New York City heart
[Chorus]
EbBb Why should I worry? EbGm Why should I care? EbBb I may not have a dime FGm But I got street savoire faire EbBb Why should I worry? EbGm Why should I care? EbBb It's just bebopulation FGmEb And I got street saviore faire
[Bridge]
EmD* The rhythm of the city C But once you get it down EmD* Then you can own this town C You can wear the crown
[Chorus]
EbBb Why should I worry? EbGm Why should I care? EbBb I may not have a dime FGm But I got street savoire faire EbBb Why should I worry? EbGm Why should I care? EbBb It's just bebopulation FGmEb And I got street saviore faire
I like to play this song half an octave below the original so it's easier to sing. Here are the transposed tabs:
EADGBE C# 9-11-11-10-9-9-| B 7--9--9--8-7-7-| A 5--7--7--6-5-5-| E 0--2--2--1-0-0-| Db x--4--6--6-6-4-| Ab 4--6--6--5-4-4-| A7 5--7--5--6-5-5-| Bbm 6--8--8--6-6-6-| G# 4--6--6--5-4-4-| F# 2--4--4--2-2-2-|
