Rascal Flatts - Why Ukulele

[Intro]

G C Em D G C Em D


[Verse]

G                                  C                  G
It must a been a place so dark, you couldn't feel the light
Em               D                   C     G
Reachin' for you through that stormy cloud
G                                C          G
Now here we are gathered in our little home town
     Em                   D               C     G
This can't be the way you meant to draw a crowd


[Chorus]

   D               Em     G 
Oh why that's what I keep askin'
          Em                            D
Was there anything I could have said or done
   D        Em                      G              D
Oh I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul, god only knows
          Em        C              Am                    D           G
What went wrong and why you would leave the stage in the middle of a song

C Em D G C Em D


[Verse]

G                                      C             G
Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a seventeen year old
Em                D                 C   G      
Rounding third to score the winning run
G                                 C               G
You always played with passion no matter what the game
         Em                 D               C        G
When you took the stage you shined just like the sun


[Chorus]

   D               Em     G
Oh why that's what I keep askin'
          Em                            D
Was there anything I could have said or done
   D         Em                                G                 D
Oh I had no clue you were masking the troubled soul, oh god only knows
           Em       C              Am                    D           G  
What went wrong and why you would leave the stage in the middle of a song

Em D G C Am Am D C (strum once)
(Strum once in this part)


[Verse]

        G                                  Em     G
Now the oak trees are swayin' in the early autumn breeze
    Em            D             G  
The golden sun is shining on my face
    G                         Em          G
The tangled thoughts I hear a mockingbird sing
Em                    D                G (Strum normally)
This old world really ain't that bad a place
 

   D              Em     G
Oh why there's no comprehending
    Em                 D
And who am I to try to judge or explain
       D             Em      G
Oh but I do have one burning question
    Em                   D
Who told you life wasn't worth the fight


[Outro]

          Em 
They were wrong
     C
They lied
               Em
And now you're gone
       C
And we cried

               Em          Am               D           G
Cause It's not like you to walk away in the middle of a song
     
C Em D G
     
     D          G  C
Your beautiful song

C Em D  G

     Em         D         G (strum once)     
Your absolutely beautiful song
