                             WHY SHOULD I WORRY? - Billy Joel
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
from Disney's Oliver & Co. soundtrack
Tabbed by: Cody

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:
G   3-5-5-4-3-3-
F   1-3-3-2-1-1-
Eb  x-6-8-8-8-6-
Bb  6-8-8-7-6-6-
D   x-5-7-7-7-5-
Eb7 x-6-8-6-8-6-
Em  0-2-2-0-0-0-
D*  x-0-0-2-3-2-
C   x-3-2-0-1-0-
[Verse 1]
G                  F         G        F
   One minute I'm in Central Park
G                 F          G        F
   Then I'm down on Delancey Street
G                F       G        F
   From the Bow'ry to St Marks
G                F      G        F
   There's a syncopated Beat
[Pre-Chorus]
G             F         G        F
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
    G          F       G            F
I'm streetwise,  I can improvise
G                F         G        F
   Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
    G           F         G             F
I'm streetsmart, I've got New York City heart

The rhythm of the city
    C
But once you get it down
     Em              D
                     *
Then you can own this town
C
You can wear the crown
[Chorus]
