...I'M LIVIN' IN SHAME... by The Supremes -------------------------................ *from 'Love Child' (1968)* Intro: D, Dmaj7, D7, G A Verse 1: Am Mama was cookin' bread, F She wore a dirty, Raggedy scarf, C A-round her head, Always had her, Em Stockings low, Rolled to her feet, G Just didn't know. Verse 2: Am She wore a sloppy dress, F Oh no matter how she tried, C She always looked a mess, Em Out of the pot she ate, Never used a fork, G Or a dinner plate. Bridge 1: Bm I was always, A7 So afraid that, My uptown friends, D Would see her. Bm Afraid one day, A7 When I was grown, D That I would be her. Interlude: F# Verse 3: Bm In a college town, G A-way from home, D An identi-ty I found, F#m That I was born elite, With maids and servants, A At my feet. Verse 4: Bm I must have been insane, G I lied and said mama died, D On a weekend trip to Spain. F#m She never got, Out of the house, A Never even boarded a train. Bridge 2: Bm Married a guy, A7 Was living high, I didn't want him, D To know her, Bm she had a grandson, A7 Two years old, That I never, D Even showed her. Chorus 1: D Dmaj7 I'm living in shame, D7 G, Gm Mama, I miss you. D I know you're, Dmaj7 Not to blame, D7 G, Gm Mama, I miss you. Interlude: F# Break: Em A, C D, G Verse 5: Am Came the telegram, F Mama passed away, While making, C Home made jam. Em Be-fore she died she cried, G To see me by her side. Verse 6: Am She always did her best, F Ah cooked and cleaned, And always in, C The same old dress. Em Working hard, Down on her knees, G Always trying to please. Bridge 3: Bm Mama, A7 Mama, D Mama can you hear me? Bm Mama, A7 Mama, D Mama can you hear me? *KEY CHANGE* ------------ Chorus 3: Eb Ebmaj7 I'm living in shame, Eb7 G#, G#m Mama, I miss you.
