A                 E 
  Daddy plays the ashtray 
A               E
 Baby starts to cry 
Em                D         Bm       E 
 The Lady wants to know the reasons why 
A                 E 
 Daddy's just like Coltrane 
A                 E 
 Baby's just like Miles 
Em                    D      Bm       E 
 The Lady's just like heaven ...when she smiles 


[CHORUS]
                  Em            A 
The lady wants to know, she wants to know the reasons
             Em               A
she’s got to know the reasons why
                    Dm        G                   Dm                    G
This man has got to go this man is always leaving how he hates to say goodbye
                     Cm         F                         Cm                  F
but what she doesn’t know there really is no reason there really is no reason why
