Reba McEntire, Why Not Tonight (1986)
Key: :[A] (w: Jon Vezner, David Stringfellow, Nancy Montgomery)
VERSE 1:
[A] Well pardon me but you have my attention, ever since you strolled into the
[E] room
Believe me that it's not my intention, if I appear to come on too
[A] smooth
It's
[A] not like me to make such advances, but this time baby I could not re-
[D]-sist
So if you're up for taking a
[A] chance on
[F#m] love, I
[D] can't see a
[E] better time than
[A] this
[A open]
CHORUS:
So baby
[A] why not tonight, This could be the start of something
[E] right
Hey you can take it easy, We can take it so slow, We can take it anywhere that you'd like to
[A] go
So baby why not tonight, The stars are out and I'm sure they'll a-
[D]-gree
Oh it's a perfect night for
[A] falling in
[F#m] love, So
[D] why not fall in
[E] love with
[A] me
VERSE 2:
Oh
[A] maybe we could go out for some dinner, And later on how we could do the
[E] town
Ya know I consider myself a winner, Just to have a boy like you a-
[A]-round
Then
[A] if you're up for doing some dancing, Yeah I know a place they dance until the
[D] dawn
Anything you like will
[A] be al-
[F#m]-right, so
[D] why not take a
[E] chance and come a-
[A]-long
[A open]
CHORUS:
So baby
[A] why not tonight, This could be the start of something
[E] right
Hey you can take it easy, We can take it so slow, We can take it anywhere
[A] that you'd like to go
So baby why not tonight, The stars are out and I'm sure they'll a-
[D]-gree
Oh it's a perfect night for
[A] falling in
[F#m] love,
So
[D] why not fall in
[E] love, so
[D] why not fall in
[E] love
So
[D] why not fall in
[E] love with
[A] me
