Dont Know Why

Text File

I know this isn�t how Danny plays it, as on the tour DVD, he�s playing it with the capo
the 6th fret. However, this is how I�ve been playing it since Wonderland came out, and
sounds fine. Plus, if you play the correct version wrong, it sounds like a Hawaiian ukulele!!

To save space, I�ve put some of the little riffs above the lyrics where they happen, in
line form, for example �
D --- 5 --- 2 --- 0 ---
That basically means play on the D string, not play a D chord.

Questions, comments, mistakes or McFly�s used socks (ewww...) are all kindly received at

If you are a 13-year old teenie bopper PRETENDING TO BE McFLY though, then don�t waste
time in adding me � I�ve already dealt with one of you before, and you�re not funny or
enough to be McFly.

VERSE 1.
E            D*              A                  D --- 5 --- 2 --- 0
One by one, drinks are gone, do I have to stay?
E              D*                A
Hate the sound of one more pound as it rolls away.

BRIDGE 1.
F#m       D               A
Why did I need your proof when I knew the truth?

CHORUS.
                 E                      D            A
And I don�t know why I just let it slip by me all the time.
                       E
I just wish you�d have tried


VERSE 2.
E           D*              A               D --- 4 --- 5 --- 2 --- 0
I don�t want to know your game, let alone her name
E             D*             A
No matter what you say to me, we are not the same

BRIDGE 2.
F#m       D             A
Why do you make me cry, try to justify?
F#m                    D                 A
Don�t right your wrong with my mistakes, coz my head�s held high!

CHORUS.
                 E                     D              A
And I don�t know why I just let it slip by me all the time, I just
                E
wish you�d have tried.
                E                      D             A
And I don�t know why I just let it slip by me all the time, I just
                E
wish you�d have tried.

(NOTE � although this isn�t on the Wonderland CD, when this song is played live, after
riff, the violinsts add in a rhythmic change from E to E7 and then back to E. I always
in the E7 change, as I think it sounds nicer, but it�s up to you if you want to add it 
or not.)

Play the next riff with each fretted note corresponding with each word. (listen to the
if you don�t get it.)

                                       E
  Dreams we have as kids all fade away
G - 5 -- 4 �- 2 - 0 -------------------|
D ------------------ 4 -- 5 � 4 -- 0 --|

   Now it�s not the same�
G � 5 � 4 -- 2 � 0 -- 4 ---

(NOTE � on the live version, as a build up before the solo, all stringed instruments
bass, violins, etc) play this short riff �

G -- 5 � 5 � 4 � 4 � 2 � 2 � 4 � 4 --  X5

 - before Tom jumps in with the solo. This again isn�t on the Wonderland CD, but it�s 
to play!)

SOLO �

E -----------------------------------------|

(NOTE � I�m not 100% sure on the last part of the solo. The above version is my own take
it, but because it�s all played so quickly, no one really notices when playing without
CD. Just so you know, that last part doesn�t fit in with the CD.)

CHORUS.
                 E                      D             A
And I don�t know why I just let it slip by me all the time, I just
                E
wish you�d have tried.
                 E                      D             A
And I don�t know why I just let it slip by me all the time. I just
                E
wish you�d have tried.

Yeah!

E --------------------------------------------------- 3 � 2 - 0-|

(Again, as with the solo, this last part isn�t 100% accurate. Just play it with the
really quickly, and it should do!! It�s all a variation of a blues riff.)
