Tell Me Why (diatonic)

TELL ME WHY 
By Neil Young 
Key: G 


7     7    7    -7
Sail-ing heart-ships 
-6    6   5   6   -6
thru bro-ken har-bors 
 5  -4  4   -3”  -3” 6    5
Out on the waves in the night 
7      7    7   -7
Still the search-er 
 -6    6    5   6    -6
must ride the dark horse 
 5  -4  4  -2” -2” 6     5
Rac-ing a-lone in his fright.

Tell me why, tell me why

Is it hard to make 
7   -7    -6    6    6    -6
Ar-range-ments with your-self, 
 6     -6   -7  -7  -7   7 -7 -6
When you're old e-nough to re-pay 
-6    6   6   5   6   -6
but young e-nough to sell? 

Tell me lies later, 
come and see me 
I'll be around for a while. 
I am lonely but you can free me 
All in the way that you smile 
Tell me why, tell me why  

Is it hard to make 
arrangements with yourself, 
When you're old enough to repay 
but young enough to sell?
