What A Shame Acoustic Chords

Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Em Two packs of cigarettes a day

G The strongest whiskey Kentucky can make

A5 That's the recipe to put a vCagabond on his hands and knees

Em I watched it all up close, I knew it more than Gmost

 I Gsaw a side of him I could never A5show

A5 For the sympathy, for a Cworld that wouldn't let him be

Em That's the man he was

G Have you heard enough

Chorus

G What a Cshame, what a Gshame to judge a ClifGe that you can't change

GThe choir Csings the church bells Gring

 So won't you Cgive this man his Gwings

GWhat a Cshame to have to Gbeg you to see CweG're noCt all the same

CWhat a Emshame

Em--G--C(x2)

 There's a harEmd life for every silver spoon,

 There's a Gtouch of gray for every shade of blue

A5 That's the way that I see life

 If there was Cnothing wrong then there'd be nothing right

Em And for this working man, they said could barely Gstand

 There's got to be a better place to A5land

A5Some kind of remedy, Cfor a world that wouldn't let him be

EmThat's the man he was

GHave you heard enough

Chorus

Bridge

EmGod forgive the A5hands that laid you Gdown

CThey never knew how, Embut your broken

A5Heart can break the Gsound

CAnd change the season

EmNow the leaves are A5falling faster,

GHappily Cever after

EmYou gave me hope through A5your endeavors

 And now Gyou will live forCever

Chorus

GWhat a Cshame, what a Gshame

 Cause Cwe're not all the Gsame

GWhat a Cshame, what a Gshame

 Cause Cwe're not all the Emsame
