This is my favorite Alabama song. It's written by Teddy Gentry and R. Scott
I picked this off the Alabama Greatest Hits CD.

Why Lady Why                                                 Alabama

intro: C--Bm--C--Bm

               Em                                   G
Why lady why        can't I leave you alone
              Em                                    G
I try lady try       but the feelings too strong
                        C--Am                           G
You stay on my mind      I feel just like a fool
                Am                                     G
Why lady why                can't I get over you


Riff     (C--Bm--C--Bm)


Why lady why it was easy before

I try lady try but it ain't easy no more

to be on my way       would be the best thing to do

Why lady why can't I get over you


Riff     (C--Bm--C--Bm)


Why lady why can't I leave you alone

I try lady try but the feelings too strong

To be on my way       would be the best thing to do

Why lady why can't I get over you


Riff        (C--Bm--C--Bm)
