Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]We [Bm]oughta [D]be ashamed[E]
[G]We oughta be ashamed
We [D]use and abuse such a
[A]wonderful [D]name[A]

[Verse 2]
See the [D]blooming of the flowers
When the spring first ap[G]pears
Hear the crying of [D]the baby
In its first [A]tender years
Watch the [D]flight of the robin
When he knows winter's [G]through
And the One who made that [D]robin
Is some[A]where watching [D]you[A]

[Verse 3]
So [D]we oughta be ashamed
We [G]oughta be ashamed
We [D]use and ab[Bm]use such
a [E]wonderful [A]name
Look at [D]the beauty that's all around us
From California [G]to Maine
Then we think how [D]we mistreat it
Oh we [A]oughta be ashamed
[D]

[Verse 4]
[Bb]
Watch the [Eb]people pass the beggar
On the street as [Ab]he cries
"Pencils for a nick[Eb]el"
Still they pass him [Bb]by
See [Eb]the rich man with all his money
Ah, but still he com[Ab]plains
Smell the flowing of all the [Eb]whiskey
Lord, we [Bb]oughta be ashamed
[Eb]

[Verse 5]
[Bb]
We [Eb]oughta be [F]ashamed
[Eb]We ought[Ab]a be ashamed
We [Eb]use and abu[Cm]se such
a [F]wonderful [Bb]name
And the [Eb]beauty's all around us
From California to [Ab]Maine
Oh, we think how He's mis[Eb]treated
We [Bb]oughta be [Eb]ashamed
[Ab]And think how we mis[Eb]treat Him
Lord, we [Bb]oughta be ashamed
[Ab][Eb]
