Capo: no capo
Tuning: E A D G B E
Title: What A Shame
Artist: Shinedown
Album: The Sound Of Madness
Wasn't happy with the other versions out there, so I decided to give it a shot myself.
This might (or might not) be the way it is played, but it sounds good when played
along to the record version.
Feel free to comment if you see (or hear) any mistakes.
Oh, and thanks to 365_days_gone for his (her?) Guitar Pro version that made my work much easier.
Tuned a half-step down
F#m-F#m-A-E x2
Bbm-Cm-C#-Fm-Eb x2 <-- I also play this riff using power chords.
Intro
F#mTwo packs of cigarettes a day
The Astrongest whiskey
KenEtucky can make F#m
That's a recipe to put a Avagabond
On his Ehands and knees F#m
I watched it all up close,
I knew him more than Amost
I saw a side of Ehim he never showed F#m
Full of sympathy for a Aworld that
Wouldn't Elet him be
Bm That's the man he was,
D Have you hC#eard enough?
F#mWhat a shAame, what a shEame,
To judge a life that you can't chaF#mnge
The choir sAings, the church bells rEing
So, won't you give this man his wF#mings?
What a shAame to have to bEeg you to
See we're not all the Dsame C#
What a F#mshame
F#m-A-E
F#m-F#m-A-E
There's a F#mhard life for every silver spoon
There's aA touch of grey for everyE shade of blue
F#mThat's the way that I see life
If there was Anothing wrong,
Then there'd be Enothing right
F#mAnd for this working man they say could
Barely Astand
There's gotta be a beEtter place to F#mland
Some kind of remedy for a Aworld that
Wouldn't Elet him be
Bm That's the man he was,
D Have you hC#eard enough?
F#mWhat a shAame, what a shEame,
To judge a life that you can't chaF#mnge
The choir sAings, the church bells rEing
So, won't you give this man his wF#mings?
What a shAame to have to bEeg you to
See we're not all the Dsame C#
Bm-A <----- The two chords alternate rapidly;
What a shame I prefer playing power chords
Bridge
BbmGod forgCmive the C#hands that lFmaid you Ebdown,
They never knew how,
BbmBut your Cmbroken hC#eart can brFmeak the sEbound,
And change the season
C#Now the leaves are falling faster, Ebhappily ever after
C#You gave me hope through your endeavors
Eb Fm F#m Ab Bb Cm C# <--- You can go above the 12th fret to make
And now you will live for-e--ver it sound exactly like the original
song, but since I play it on an
acoustic, I go down for the last 3
chords.
F#mWhat a shaAme, what a Eshame,
To judge a life that you can't chF#mange
The choir sAings, the church bells Ering
So, won't you give this man his wF#mings?
What a shAame to have to bEeg you to
See we're not all the F#msame
What a shAame, what a shEame
'Cause we're not all the F#msame
What a shAame, what a shEame
'Cause we're not all the F#msame
F#m-A-E
F#m-F#m-A-E
