Intro: Fm Fm-Fm Fm-G# G#-D# D#  x2

Fm Fm
Two packs of cigarettes a day
G# G#
The strongest whiskey
D# D# Fm Fm
Kentucky can make
G# G#
That's a recipe to put a vagabond
D# D# Fm Fm
On his hands and knees

I watched it all up close,
G# G#
I knew him more than most
D# D# Fm Fm
I saw a side of him he never showed
G# G#
Full of sympathy for a world that
D# D#
Wouldn't let him be


A#m A#m
That's the man he was,
C# C# C C
Have you heard enough?


Fm Fm G# G# D# D#
What a shame, what a shame,
Fm Fm
To judge a life that you can't change
G# G# D# D#
The choir sings, the church bells ring
Fm Fm
So, won't you give this man his wings?
G# G# D# D#
What a shame to have to beg you to
C# C# C C
See we're not all the same
Fm Fm
What a shame

Fm Fm-G# G#-D# D#
Fm Fm-Fm Fm-G# G#-D# D#

Fm Fm
There's a hard life for every silver spoon
G# G# D# D#
There's a touch of grey for every shade of blue
Fm Fm
That's the way that I see life
G# G#
If there was nothing wrong,
D# D#
Then there'd be nothing right
Fm Fm
And for this working man they say could
G# G#
Barely stand
D# D# Fm Fm
There's gotta be a better place to land
G# G#
Some kind of remedy for a world that
D# D#
Wouldn't let him be


A#m A#m
That's the man he was,
C# C# C C
Have you heard enough?


Fm Fm G# G# D# D#
What a shame, what a shame,
Fm Fm
To judge a life that you can't change
G# G# D# D#
The choir sings, the church bells ring
Fm Fm
So, won't you give this man his wings?
G# G# D# D#
What a shame to have to beg you to
C# C# C C
See we're not all the same

A#m A#m-G# G#
What a shame

Bridge:

Am Am-Bm Bm-C C-Em Em-D D x2

Am Am Bm Bm C C Em Em D D
God forgive the hands that laid you down,

They never knew how,
Am Am Bm Bm C C Em Em D D
But your broken heart can break the sound,

And change the season
C C D D
Now the leaves are falling faster, happily ever after
C C
You gave me hope through your endeavors
D D Em Em Fm Fm G G A A Bm Bm C C
And now you will live for-e--ver



Fm Fm G# G# D# D#
What a shame, what a shame,
Fm Fm
To judge a life that you can't change
G# G# D# D#
The choir sings, the church bells ring
Fm Fm
So, won't you give this man his wings?
G# G# D# D#
What a shame to have to beg you to
Fm Fm
See we're not all the same
G# G# D# D#
What a shame, what a shame
Fm Fm
'Cause we're not all the same
G# G# D# D#
What a shame, what a shame
Fm Fm
'Cause we're not all the same
