Don't Ask Me Why Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Billy Joel
this song has really easy chords. standard tuning- you can play it open but in my
opinion it sounds much better with a capo on the 3rd fret. enjoy

intro- G G7 (x4)


verse: 
G                         A7
all your waiters in your grand cafe
D7                            G      C
leave their tables when you blink, oooh
G                         A7
every dog must have his every day
D7                          G
every drunk must have his drink
        B7        Em           G7         A7
don't wait for answers, just take your chances,
       C      G   G7 G
don't ask me why
verse #2*

bridge:
D                               C
you can say the human heart is only make believe
D                             G
i am only fighting fire with fire
E                   A
you are still the victim of the accidents you leave
E                         A7
sure as i'm a victim of desire

that's basically it, the next three verses follow the same pattern:
verse 2:
all your life you had to stand in line,
still you're standing on your feet,ooh
all your choices made you change your mind,
now your calender's complete,
don't wait for answers, just take your chances, 
don't ask me why
verse 3:
all your servants in your new hotel, 
throw their roses at your feet,ooh
fool them all but baby i can tell,
you're no stranger to the street,
don't ask for favors, don't talk to starngers,
don't ask me why
verse 4:
yesterday you were an only child,
now your ghosts have gone away, ooh,
you can kill them in the classic style,
now you par le vous francais,
don't look for answers, you took your chances,
don't ask me why
