(ver. 1)
Billy Joel

                             WHY SHOULD I WORRY? - Billy Joel
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Tuning:EADGBe

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:
