Em Two packs of cigarettes a day
G The strongest whiskey Kentucky can make
A5 That's the recipe to put a v C agabond on his hands and knees
Em I watched it all up close, I knew it more than G most
I G saw a side of him I could never A5 show
A5 For the sympathy, for a C world that wouldn't let him be
Em That's the man he was
G Have you heard enough
Chorus:
G What a C shame, what a G shame to judge a C lif G e that you can't change
G The choir C sings the church bells G ring
So won't you C give this man his G wings
G What a C shame to have to G beg you to see C we G 're no C t all the same
C What a Em shame
Em--G--C(x2)
There's a har Em d life for every silver spoon,
There's a G touch of gray for every shade of blue
A5 That's the way that I see life
If there was C nothing wrong then there'd be nothing right
Em And for this working man, they said could barely G stand
There's got to be a better place to A5 land
A5 Some kind of remedy, C for a world that wouldn't let him be
Em That's the man he was
G Have you heard enough
Chorus
Em-C
Bridge:
Em God forgive the A5 hands that laid you G down
C They never knew how, Em but your broken
A5 Heart can break the G sound
C And change the season
Em Now the leaves are A5 falling faster,
G Happily C ever after
Em You gave me hope through A5 your endeavors
And now G you will live for C ever
Chorus
G What a C shame, what a G shame
Cause C we're not all the G same
G What a C shame, what a G shame
Cause C we're not all the Em same
*let Em ring out, stroke once*
