*CAPO 3rd FRET*
(Original Key: Cm)
Intro/Riff:
(Riff repeated in Verse/Chorus)
Verse 1:
If I'm caught at a dance party,
Without my dancin' shoes,
And every-body dances,
On my bare feet;
Shame on me.
If I'm mindin' my business,
Just doin' the right thing,
And you try to front me off,
In the street;
Shame on you.
If a family's waiting,
For that special blessing,
To come their way,
But they ain't tryin' to,
Get on their knees and pray;
Shame on them.
And if we live in a time,
Where every nation's,
Fightin' 'round the world,
Yet we can't all agree,
That peace is the way;
Shame on us.
Chorus 1:
Shame on me,
Shame on you,
Shame on them,
Shame on us.
Shame on me,
Shame on you,
Shame on them,
Shame on us;
So what the fuss?
Verse 2:
If I gotta get up early in the morning,
For a job interview,
And I for-get to set the stupid a-larm;
Shame on me.
If my children are playin' outside,
Like little children do,
And you come 'round there,
Tryin' to bring them some harm;
Shame on you.
Should I be drivin' through a Klantown,
Find a restaurant to get me some food,
And someone says;
"Hey boy, we don't serve your kind";
Shame on them.
And if we live in a democracy,
And you don't use your power to vote,
Knowin' some would like to,
Turn back the hands of time;
Shame on us.
Chorus 2:
Shame on me,
Shame on you,
Shame on them,
Shame on us.
Shame on me,
Shame on you,
Shame on them,
Shame on us;
So what the fuss?
Verse 3:
If I'm hooked on a habit,
Knowin' damn well,
It could cost me my life,
Yet I keep doin,
What I should do without;
Shame on me.
If you're locked in a marriage,
And your other half,
Just gives you abuse,
Yet you've con-vinced yourself,
That there's no way out;
Shame on you.
If we're jammin' the music,
And somebody's go the au-dacity,
To say that they can,
Jam it better than us;
Shame on them.
And should there be just a handful,
That believe that we are totally free,
And there's no need,
To fight for e-quality;
Shame on them.
Chorus 3:
Shame on me,
Shame on you,
Shame on them,
Shame on us.
Shame on me,
Shame on you,
Shame on them,
Shame on us;
So what the fuss?
