D                         A                 D

D     G     D
Why why why
D                               A          D 
Why put a stone on a grave in town
D     G     D

Why does a little dog bury its bone
D     G     D
Why why why

       Em                    A 
So the river will not drown it
           D                   Hm
So the highway won't take it
          Em                   A 
And the dust will not cover it
           D                  Hm
And the sun will not blind it
             Em              A         D
And the wind won't blow it away


Why put a song bird in a cage
Why write i love you on every page

Tell me why it's so
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me so I'll know

Why does a bird build its nest so high
Why hold a baby when a baby cries

So the river will not drown it
So the highway won't take it
And the dust will not cover it
And the sun will not blind it
And the wind won't blow it away

So the river will not drown it
So the highway won't take it
And the dust will not cover it
And the sun will not blind it
And the wind won't blow it away
