Wherefore and Why
Glen Campbell
written by Gordon Lightfoot

Intro  G  Am  Bm  Am  

Verse 1

G                        Am                     Bm
When I woke this mornin' something inside of me
                    Am    G
Told me, This would be my day.
G                         Am
I heard the mornin' train,   I felt the wind change.
Bm                  Am    G
Too many times, I'm on my way.

Chorus 1

D        G         C            G
Come on, sunshine, what can you show me
C             G          A7           D
Where can you take me to make me understand
C            G         C           G        C
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me.
             G             C               Dsus4
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain

Verse 2

G                      Am                 Bm              Am      G
Then I saw the sunrise above a cotton sky    like a candy cane delight.
                   Am                     Bm             Am      G
I saw the milkman, I saw the businessman, I saw the only road in sight.
                            Am                       Bm 
And then I got to thinkin', what makes you want to go   to know the 
          Am      G
wherefore and the why
G                  Am                        Bm                 Am  G
So many times now, O Lord, I can't remember, if it is September or July

Chorus 2

D        G         C            G
Come on, sunshine, what can you show me
C             G          A7           D
Where can you take me to make me understand
C            G         C           G        C
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me.
             G             C               Dsus4
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain

G  Am  Bm  Am  G

Bridge

G                              Am            
And all at once it came to me. I saw the wherefore,
Bm                 Am     G
And you can see it if you try.
                       Am
It's in the sun above, it's in the ones you love.
Bm                    Am     G
You'll never know the reason why.

Outro

D        G         C            G
Come on, sunshine, what can you show me
C              G          A7          D
Where can you take me to make me understand
C            G         C           G        C
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me.
             G             C               Dsus4
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain

So much to lose, so much to gain.
