Oh What A Shame
Roy Wood
(capo on 1st fret for recorded key)
D
Well I’ve been hanging’ around
I'm just a one of the crowd
G D/F# Em
And there ain’t much going on
A
‘Til I was cruising along with the radio on
Asus2 D
Playin’ one of my favourite songs
Now they are taking my tyres
I’ll get my girl on the wire
G D/F# Em
Supposin’ I ever find a phone
A
But to my utter dismay
Asus2 A
I got the answer okay
A7 D
The other voice was a baritone
CHORUS:
G D
Oh what a shame Oh what a shame
G F# F Em A D
Oh what a shame (Gotta get) Back on the road again
D
Feelin’ less than inspired
I chased the girl I admired
G D/F# Em
Her fancy coat was real raccoon
A
She could begin the beguine
While reading Life magazine
Asus2 D
And feed her face with a silver spoon
I must be so debonair
I threw my glass in the air
G D/F# Em
And said: “Do you wanna take me home?”
A
For making such a display
Asus2 A
She drove me down to the bay
A7 D
And threw me out in the danger zone
G D
Oh what a shame Oh what a shame
G F# F Em A D
Oh what a shame (Gotta get) Back on the road again
[Sax Solo (* = single strum each chord) * * * ]
D G D/F# Em G D A D B E A7
D
Well I have been gettin’ up early
With some beautiful girls
G D/F# Em
And I’ll admit I’ve enjoyed a few
A
I’m tired of trackin’ around
I end up being the hound
Asus2 D
I know this is what I’m gonna do
I gotta get some honey
With a big white sunny top
G D/F# Em
Road Rocket Chevrolet
A
So with her seat belt tied
Asus2 A
I’ll pull into the side
A7 D
To see the cops tow the car away
G D
Oh what a shame Oh what a shame
G F# F Em A D
Oh what a shame (Gotta get) Back on the road again
G D
Oh what a shame Oh what a shame
