What A Shame Uke tab by Shinedown

Intro: F#m-F#m-A-E  x2

F#m
Two packs of cigarettes a day
    A
The strongest whiskey
   E                F#m
Kentucky can make
                         A
That's a recipe to put a vagabond
       E                 F#m
On his hands and knees

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


Bm
    That's the man he was,
D             C#
    Have you heard enough?


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

F#m-A-E
F#m-F#m-A-E

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


Bm
   That's the man he was,
D            C#
   Have you heard enough?


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

        Bm-A  
What a shame         

Bridge:

Bbm-Cm-C#-Fm-Eb x2 

Bbm     Cm      C#          Fm      Eb
God forgive the hands that laid you down,

They never knew how, 
Bbm      Cm      C#         Fm       Eb
But your broken heart can break the sound,

And change the season
C#                                 Eb
Now the leaves are falling faster, happily ever after
C#                 
You gave me hope through your endeavors
    Eb  Fm  F#m  Ab   Bb  Cm C#  
And now you will live for-e--ver          
                                       
                                      
                                      
F#m       A          E
What a shame, what a shame,
                                 F#m
To judge a life that you can't change
           A                      E
The choir sings, the church bells ring
                                 F#m
So, won't you give this man his wings?
         A               E
What a shame to have to beg you to
                      F#m
See we're not all the same
         A             E
What a shame, what a shame
                         F#m
'Cause we're not all the same
         A             E
What a shame, what a shame
                         F#m
'Cause we're not all the same
