Shame
SHAME
Del Amitri
Capo 6
C Em
I’m writing a poem
Am F
It’s not about you
C Em
But this guy, you might know him,
Am F
He’s a clown too
C Em
Shame, shame, shame
Am F
Shame, shame, shame
C Em
Well he’s got your name
Am F
Dresses the same way
C Em
And he acts like the star
Am F
Of his own play
G Am
He’s a typical guy
C F
When he has whisky in his veins
F G
And just like you and I
C Em
He lives in shame
Am F
Shame, shame, shame
C Em
Well they started a fight
Am F
With a building
C Em
He’s always looking for nights
Am F
To get killed in
G Am
And he waltzes through life
C F
With typical disdain
F G
Just like you and I
C Em
He lives in shame
Am F
Shame, shame, shame
Em D
Shame at the states we get in
C
Shame at the places we’ve been
Am
Shame at the wells,
C
Shame at the bells
F
Shit, what the hell,
G
For everything else
C Em
We’ll take the blame
Am F
Without shame
C Em
Shame, shame, shame
Am F
C Em
So I’m forging ahead
Am F
With or without you
C Em
Meet me at the edge of the cliff
Am F
You know you want to
G Am
And typical guys
C F
wanna go out like a flame
F G
So much better to die
C Em
Than live in shame
Am F
Shame, shame, shame
C Em
Shame, shame, shame
Am F
Shame, shame, shame
|C |Em |Am |F
Ooh

Ooh
