Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][G][C][D]

[Verse 1]
My [G]friend
s they wash the windows
And they [C]shine in the sun
[D]They tell me,[G] "Wake up early
in the morning sometime
See what a [C]beautiful job [D]we done"
I say, [G]"Let's put on some tunes
Sing along [C]and Doolittle all [D]day"
[G]Go down to the riverside,
take off our shoes
And [C]wash these sins [D]away

[Verse 2]
The river [G]said
"La la la"
[C]It said, "Shame on [D]you"
The river [G]said
"La la la"
[C]It said, "Shame on [D]you"

[Verse 3]
I go [G]down to Chicano city park
Because [C]it makes me feel so [D]fine
And when [G]the weeds go down
you can see up close
In the [C]dead of the winter [D]time
But when [G]the summer comes
[C]eve[G]rything's in bloom
[C]And you wouldn't know it's [D]there
And [G]white folks like to pretend it's not
But [C]their music's in the [D]air

[Verse 4]
You can hear them [G]singing
"La la la"
[C]They said, "Shame on [D]you"
You can feel them dan[G]cing
"La la la"
[C]They said, "Shame on [D]you"

[Verse 5]
My friend [G]Tanner she says, "You know
Me [C]and Jesus we're of [D]the same heart
The only [G]thing that keeps us distant
Is that I [C]keep fuckin' [D]up"
I said, "Come on [G]down
to Chicano city park
[C]And wash your blues
[D]away"[G]
The beautiful ladies [C]walk right by
You [G]know [C]I never know what to say

[Verse 6]
[D]And they'll be singing
[G]"Ooh la la la la la la la [C]la, shame on you"
[D]And they'll be dan[G]cing
Ooh la la la, they said,
[C]"Shame on you[D]

[Interlude 1]
Shame on you"
[G][D][G][D]
[G][C][D][C][G][C]
[G][C][Am][C][D][G][C][D][G]
[C][D]

[Verse 7]
Let's go [G]road block trip[C]pin'
in the middle of the night
Up in [D]Gainesville town
There'll be [G]blue lights flashing
down the long dirt road
When they [C]ask me to step [D]out
They say, "We be [G]looking
for illegal immigrants
[C]Can we check your car[D]"
I say, "You know it's [G]funny
I think we were on the same
[C]boat back in 169[D]4"

[Verse 8]
And [G]I said
"Ooh la la la la la la la [C]la,
shame on [D]you"
They'll be dan[G]cing
La la la [C]I said, "Shame on [D]you"
I said
[G]"Ooh la la la la la la [C]la la, shame on [D]you
Shame on you, [G]la la
La la la [C]la shame on [D]you"
I [G]said
I said
"La la [C]la shame on [D]you"
I'll be [G]dancing
(and they'll be singing)
La la la [C]I said, "Shame on [D]you

[Interlude 2]
Shame on you"
[G]

[Verse 9]
(Road block trippin' in [G]the middle
of the night)
(Gainesville town
[C](Blue lights flashing down the long
[G]dirt road)

[Outro 1]
