What a Shame Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Em][G][D]
[Em][Em][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Two packs of cigarettes a day
The [G]strongest whiskey Ken[D]tucky can make
[Em]That's a recipe
To put a [G]vagabond on his [D]hands and knees
[Em]I watched it all up close
I knew him more than [G]most
I saw a side of [D]him, he never [Em]showed
Full of sympathy
For a [G]world that wouldn't [D]let him be

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Am]That's the man he was
[C]Have you hea[B]rd enou[D]gh

[Chorus 1]
[Em]What a shame[G], what a shame[D]
To judge a life that you can't [Em]change
The choir [G]sings, the church bells [D]ring
So, won't you give this man his [Em]wings
What a [G]shame, to have to [D]beg you to see
We're not all the [C]same
[B]What a shame

[Interlude 1]
[Em][Em][G][D]
[Em][Em][G][D]

[Verse 2]
There's a [Em]hard life for every silver spoon
There's [G]a touch of grey
for eve[D]ry shade of blue
[Em]That's the way that I see life
If there was [G]nothing wrong
Then there'd be [D]nothing right
[Em]And for this working man,
they said, could barely [G]stand
There's gotta be a [D]better place to [Em]land
Some kind of remedy
For a [G]world that wouldn't [D]let him be

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Am]That's the man he was
[C]Have you hea[B]rd enou[D]gh

[Chorus 2]
[Em]What a shame[G], what a shame[D]
To judge a life that you can't [Em]change
The choir [G]sings, the church bells [D]ring
So, won't you give this man his [Em]wings
What a [G]shame, to have to [D]beg you to see
We're not all the [C]same
[B]What a sha[Am]me

[Bridge 1]
[G#m]God forgi[F#]ve the ha[B]nds that la[D#m]id you dow[C#]n
They never knew how
[G#m]Much your b[F#]roken h[B]eart
can [D#m]break the [C#]sound
And change the season
[B]Now the leaves are falling faster
[C#]Happily ever after
You [B]gave me hope through your endeavors
And [C#]now [D#m]you wi[C#]ll liv[F#]e fo[G#m]r ev e[A#m]r[B]

[Chorus 3]
[Em]What a shame[G], what a shame[D]
To judge a life that you can't [Em]change
The choir [G]sings, the church bells [D]ring
So, won't you give this man his [Em]wings
What a [G]shame, to have to [D]beg you to see
We're not all the [Em]same
(What a [G]shame, what a [D]shame)
'Cause we're not all the [Em]same
(What a [G]shame, what a [D]shame)

[Outro 1]
'Cause we're not all the same
