[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]
[D]I said

[Verse 1]
Oh, [G]misery, [D]shame and
scandal in [G]the family[D]
Oh, [G]misery, [D]shame and
scandal in the [G]family

[Verse 2]
Down [G]in Trinidad, there was [D]a family
With much confusion as [G]you will see
A mama and a papa [D]and a
boy who was grown
He wanted to marry and have
[G]wife of his own
He found a girl, [D]she suited him nice
He went to his father to [G]ask his advice
His father said, "son, I [D]have to say no
The girl is your sister,
but your mama don't [G]know"

[Verse 3]
[D]Oh, [G]misery, [D]shame and
scandal in [G]the family
I said
[D]Oh, [G]misery, [D]shame and
scandal in the fam[G]ily

[Verse 4]
And then the [G]weeks went by and
the sum[D]mer came down
Soon, the best girl on the [G]islands he found
He went to his papa to [D]make it a date
His papa shook his head and
to [G]this he did say
"You can't marry that girl,
I [D]have to say no
Cause the girl is your sister,
but your mama don't [G]know"[D]

[Verse 5]
Oh, [G]misery, [D]shame and

Oh, [G]misery, [D]it's shame
and scandal in [G]the family

[Verse 6]
[G]Oh,[D][G][D][G]
he went to his mama,
[D]he covered his head
He told his mom, what his [G]father had said
His mother, she laughed,
she said, [D]"go man go
Your daddy ain't your daddy,
but your daddy [Bm]don't [G]know"

[Verse 7]
[D]Oh, [G]misery, it's [D]shame and
scandal in the [G]family[D]
Well
Oh, [G]misery, [D]shame and
scandal in the [G]family
