Verse 1:
Am
If I'm caught at a dance party,
G
Without my dancin' shoes,
F
And every-body dances,
E7
On my bare feet;
Am E7
Shame on me.
Am
If I'm mindin' my business,
G
Just doin' the right thing,
F
And you try to front me off,
E7
In the street;
Am E7
Shame on you.
Am
If a family's waiting,
For that special blessing,
G
To come their way,
F
But they ain't tryin' to,
E7
Get on their knees and pray;
Am E7
Shame on them.
Am
And if we live in a time,
Where every nation's,
G
Fightin' 'round the world,
F
Yet we can't all agree,
E7
That peace is the way;
Am E7
Shame on us.
Chorus 1:
Am G
Shame on me,
F E7
Shame on you,
Am G
Shame on them,
F E7
Shame on us.
Am
Shame on me,
G
Shame on you,
F
Shame on them,
E7
Shame on us;
Am E7
So what the fuss?
Verse 2:
Am
If I gotta get up early in the morning,
G
For a job interview,
F Am
And I for-get to set the stupid a-larm;
Am E7
Shame on me.
Am
If my children are playin' outside,
G
Like little children do,
F
And you come 'round there,
E7
Tryin' to bring them some harm;
Am E7
Shame on you.
Am
Should I be drivin' through a Klantown,
G
Find a restaurant to get me some food,
And someone says;
F E
"Hey boy, we don't serve your kind";
Am E7
Shame on them.
Am
And if we live in a democracy,
G
And you don't use your power to vote,
F
Knowin' some would like to,
E7
Turn back the hands of time;
Am E7
Shame on us.
Chorus 2:
Am G
Shame on me,
F E7
Shame on you,
Am G
Shame on them,
F E7
Shame on us.
Am
Shame on me,
G
Shame on you,
F
Shame on them,
E7
Shame on us;
Am E7
So what the fuss?
Verse 3:
Am
If I'm hooked on a habit,
Knowin' damn well,
G
It could cost me my life,
F
Yet I keep doin,
E7
What I should do without;
Am E7
Shame on me.
Am
If you're locked in a marriage,
And your other half,
G
Just gives you abuse,
F
Yet you've con-vinced yourself,
E7
That there's no way out;
Am E7
Shame on you.
Am
If we're jammin' the music,
G
And somebody's go the au-dacity,
F
To say that they can,
E7
Jam it better than us;
Am E7
Shame on them.
Am
And should there be just a handful,
G
That believe that we are totally free,
F
And there's no need,
E7
To fight for e-quality;
Am E7
Shame on them.
Chorus 3:
Am G
Shame on me,
F E7
Shame on you,
Am G
Shame on them,
F E7
Shame on us.
Am
Shame on me,
G
Shame on you,
F
Shame on them,
E7
Shame on us;
Am E7
So what the fuss?
