Wherefore and Why
Gordon Lightfoot
D Em D Em
D Em
When I woke this morning, something inside of me,
F#m Em D
told me, this would be my day
D Em
I heard the morning train, I felt the wind change,
F#m Em D
too many times I'm on my way
A D G D
Come on sunshine, what can you show me
G D E7 A
Where can you take me to make me understand
G D G D
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
G D G Asus4 / A
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain
D Em
And then I saw the sunrise, above the cotton sky,
F#m Em D
like a candy cane delight
D Em F#m
I saw the milkman, I saw the business man, I saw the
Em D
only road in sight
D Em
Then I got to thinking, what makes you want to go,
F#m Em D
to know the wherefore and the why
D Em
So many times now, oh lord I can't remember,
F#m Em D
if its, September or July
D Em A D
D Em
Then all at once it came to me, I saw the wherefore,
F#m Em D
and you can see it if you try
D Em
It s in the sun above, it's in the one you love,
F#m Em D
you ll never know the reason why
A D G D
Come on sunshine, what can you show me
G D E7 A
Where can you take me to make me understand
G D G D
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
G D G Asus4 / A
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain
So much to lose, so much to gain
D Em F#m Em D
