This is my first tab so it might not be all correct but it is better then any
other chord tabs i have found for this song. Enjoy!
Em G
Two packs of cigarettes a day The strongest whiskey Kentucky can make
A C
That's the recipe to put a vagabond on his hands and knees
Em
I watched it all up close I knew it more than most
G
I saw a side of him I could never show
A C
for the sympathy for a world that wouldn't let him be
Em G
That's the man he was Have you heard enough?
Em G D C Em
What a shame What a shame to judge a life that you can't change
Em G D C Em
The choir sings the chuch bells ring so won't you give this man his wings
E G D C Am
what a shame to have to beg you to see we're not all the same
Em
What a shame
Em G
There's a hard life for every silver spoon There's a touch of grey for
every shade of blue
A C
That's the way that I see life if there was nothing wrong then there'd be
nothing right
Em
and for this working man They said could barely stand
G
There's got to be a better place to land
A C
Some kind of remedy for a world that wouldn't let him be
Em G
That's the man he was Have you heard enough
Em G D C Em
What a shame What a shame to judge a life that you can't change
Em G D C Em
The choir sings the chuch bells ring so won't you give this man his wings
E G D C Am
what a shame to have to beg you to see we're not all the same
Em
What a shame
Am Bsus4 C D
God forgive the hands that laid you down (Note: When you play Bsus4 dont
strum the bass or high E strings)
G D
They never knew how,
Am Bsus4 C D
but your broken heart can break the sound
G D
And change the season
Am G Bsus4
Now the leaves are falling faster,
Am G
Happily ever after
Am G Bsus4
You gave me hope through your endeavors
Am Bsus4 C D F G Am
And now you will live for-ev-er
I havent quite got the key change figured out from the recording but it isnt
neccesary to play the song
