Wherefore and Why chords
Gordon Lightfoot  1975

Capo III 
D Em D Em
     D                    Em                      A                  Em    D
When I woke this morning, something inside of me, told me this would be my day
                           Em                      A                  Em    D
I heard the morning train, I felt the wind change, too many times I'm on my way
A       D         G            D
Come on sunshine, what can you show me
G             D          E7           A
Where can you take me to make me understand
    G        D         G           D
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
    G        D             G               Asus4 A
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain
    D                        Em                   A            Em     D
And then I saw the sunrise, above the cotton sky, like a candy cane delight
                   Em                      A              Em      D
I saw the milkman, I saw the business man, I saw the only road in sight
                        Em                         A           Em                D
Then I got to thinking, what makes you want to go, to know the wherefore and the why
                   Em                        A          Em          D
So many times now, oh lord I can t remember, if it's September or July
D Em A D
                                Em                   A                  Em     D
Then all at once it came to me, I saw the wherefore, and you can see it if you try
                       Em                        A                     Em     D
It's in the sun above, it s in the one you love, you'll never know the reason why
A       D         G            D
Come on sunshine, what can you show me
G             D          E7           A
Where can you take me to make me understand
    G        D         G           D
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
    G        D             G               Asus4 A
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain
So much to lose, so much to gain
