Don't Ask Me Why
Billy Joel 1980
  (Silver Sounds 330)   Corben Geis
 
two columns

OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*All the waiters in your grand cafe
Leave their tables when you blink

Left allemande now, dosado
Left allemande then weave the ring
**All your life you had to stand in line
Still you're standing on your feet
Don't wait for answers, just take your chances
Don't ask me why


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*All the servants in your new hotel
Throw their roses at your feet


**Fool them all, but baby I can tell
You're no stranger to the street


FIGURE    Plus, corner progression

Heads (sides) lead to the right, circle to a line
When you get your lines, up and back, load the boat
***You can say the human heart is only make-believe
And I am only fighting fire with fire

Square thru 3 hands around you go
Swing that girl and promenade
Don't ask for favors, don't talk to strangers
Don't ask me why


ALTERNATE LYRICS

***You are still a victim of the accidents you leave
As sure as I'm a victim of desire


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
(Instrumental 32 beats)
4 ladies promenade
Swing your girl and promenade
Don't wait for answers, just take your chances
Don't ask me why


TAG

Don't ask me why, just take your chances
Don't ask me why
