Show Me A Little Shame by Ben Harper Artist: Ben Harper Song: Show Me a Little Shame Album: Burn to Shine I worked this song out a week or so ago without too much trouble, as it is reasonably simple and uses familiar guitar riffs. Chords used: C G F C7 E Am Bb e|-0--3--1--0--0--0--1-| p = pull-off B|-1--3--1--1--0--1--3-| d = downstroke G|-0--4--2--3--1--2--3-| u = upstroke D|-2--5--3--2--2--2--3-| A|-3--5--3--3--2--0--1-| E|-x--3--1--x--0--x--x-| Here is the intro and riff for the first verse. The other verses follow the same pattern, except the last verse only really has bass and organ. d dudud dudud dudu * C G F e|-0-00000-00000-0000-------------1p0--------------------------------| B|-1-11111-11111-1111-----------------1-----------------------1------| G|-0-00000-00000-0000-----------0-------0-------4p0-------------2----| D|----------------------------2---------------5-----5-------3-----3--| A|----------------------0-2-3---------------5---------5---3----------| E|--------------------3-------------------3-------------1------------| * F C G C G e|-------------------1p0-------------------------0-------------------| B|-------1---------------1-------------------------1-----------------| G|---------2-------0-------0-------4p0---------0-----0---------------| D|-----3-----3---2---------------5-----5-----2---------5555----------| A|---3---------3---------------5---------5-3-----------5555-0-2------| E|-1-------------------------3-------------------------3333----------| C G F F C e|-------1p0-------------------------------------------------1p0-----| B|-----------1-----------------------1-----------1---------------1---| G|-----0-------0-------4p0-------------2-----------2-------0-------0-| D|---2---------------5-----5-------3-----3-----3-----3---2-----------| A|-3---------------5---------5---3-----------3---------3-------------| E|---------------3-------------1-----------1-------------------------| G C C7 * e|---------------------0-----0--------------------| If you don't want to pick the tune B|-----------------------1---1--------------------| just strum the chords, and adding G|-------4p0---------0-----0-3---| an F# (244322-| between the G and F D|-----5-----5-----2---------2--------------------| chords (as is done in the last A|---5---------5-3-----------3--------------------| verse with an organ) sounds really E|-3-------------------------x--------------------| good. * Strum the C7 into the start of the chorus, then the chorus chords are: F G C C7 Won't you show me a little shame Chorus ends each time with D|-5555-| before going back to the verse A|-5555-| E|-3333-| riff (indicated with *). I had problems working out if it's an E or E7 played in the bridge, they both sound good, but I'll go with E. Bridge: E C Cos now I wake ... E F I get through crying now and I................................. G Am G F I get through thinking ... Bb F G I get through speaking ... Well, that's it.
