Oh My What A Shame Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]They were [G]married in the old church [F]yard
[C]And they promised to[G]
be [Am]true to [D]each other
No [Am]matter how [G]hard their [F]lives [G]might [E]be
But like [Asus4]meteors that f[A]ell
Through [Am]mo ments paralle[A]l
They were soon to [Am]cross
And on [Dm]different plots of [F]earth
They both did [E]fall
Though their [Dm]lives had really [G]not
Been hard [Am]at all
Oh my, [E]what a

[Verse 2]
[F]shame [Am]no
one's [C]to blame
It just happened that way
[Em]And there's noth[Am]ing you can say
[G]When [D]two people [G]say [Dm]good[E]bye oh my[Am]
[G][F][C]
[G][Am][G][F][E][Am]

[Verse 3]
[G]Two brothers promised they'd re[F]turn
[C]When the war tha[G]t they
were [Am]fight[D]ing was over
But [Am]only one [G]lived to [F]keep [Dm]his v[E]ow
And the [Asus4]story I w[A]as told said
He [Am]lived to be quite [A]old before
[Am]time won out
Someone [Dm]asked if he [F]knew what
They both [E]fought for
But he [Dm]could not recall he'd
[G]ever been [Am]to war
Oh my, what a [F]shame [Am]no

[Verse 4]
one's [C]to blame
It just happened that way
[G]And there's not[Am]hing you can say[G]
[Em]When [D]two people [Dm]say good
[E]bye oh [Am]my

[Verse 5]
For there's [Am]nothing you can
Say when it's [F]over
And there's [Am]nothing you [G]can do
when [F]it's done
There's no [Am]battle you can [G]win
And there's [D]nothing to be
[Dm]gin [Bdim]that's not b[E]egun

[Verse 6]
In [Am]this moment [G]I recall
your [F]face[C]
And I wonder [G]if you [Am]still think [D]about me
Oc[Am]casionally [G]I still [F]think [E]of you
And [Asus4]I watch the river f[A]low a[Am]nd
I know I must let [A]go [Am]but it's oh
so hard
[Dm]For the waves are [F]all around
my small [E]canoe
I had [Dm]always hoped [G]this boat
could carry two
[Am]Oh my, what a

[Verse 7]
[F]shame [Am]no
one's [C]to blame
It just happened that way
[G]And there's not[Am]hing you can say
[C]When [Am]two people [G]say [Bdim]goodbye[E]
[Am]oh m[Dm]y[E]
[Am][G][F][Dm][E][Dm]
