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

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

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


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


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

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

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


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


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

        A#m-G#  
What a shame         

Bridge:

Am-Bm-C-Em-D x2 

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

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

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