Oh My What A Shame chords by Don McLean |
Easy Version
| Am G |
| They were married in the |
| F C |
| Old Church yard |
| C Am |
| And they promised to be true |
| D/F# |
| To each other |
| Am Am/G Am/F |
| No matter how hard their lives |
| E |
| Might be |
| Asus4 A |
| But like meteors that fell |
| Am A |
| Through moments parallel |
| Am Am/G |
| They were soon to cross |
| Am/F |
| And on different plots |
| E |
| Of earth they both did fall |
| F |
| Though their lives had really |
| G/E Am |
| not been hard at all |
| Am F |
| Oh my what a shame |
| Am C |
| No one's to blame |
| G |
| It just happened that way |
| Am Am/G |
| And there's nothing you can say |
| Am/F# E |
| When two people say goodbye |
| Am |
| Oh my |
| Bridge: |
| Am G F C |
| Am Am/G Am/F# F E Am |
| Am G |
| Two brothers, promised |
| F C |
| They'd return |
| Am |
| When the war that |
| D/F# |
| They were fighting was over |
| Am Am/G Am/F E |
| But only one lived to keep his vow |
| Asus4 A |
| And the story I was told |
| Am A |
| Said he lived to be quite old |
| Am Am/G |
| Before time won out |
| Am/F |
| Someone asked if he knew |
| E |
| What they both fought for |
| F |
| But he could not recall |
| G/E Am |
| He had ever been to war |
| Am F |
| Oh my what a shame |
| Am C |
| No one's to blame |
| G |
| It just happened that way |
| Am Am/G |
| And there's nothing you can say |
| Am/F# E |
| When two people say goodbye |
| Am |
| Oh my |
| Am |
| For there's nothing |
| G F |
| You can say when it's over |
| Am G |
| And there's nothing you can do |
| F |
| When it's done |
| Am G |
| There's no battle you can win |
| D/F# F |
| And there's nothing to begin |
| E |
| That's not begun |
| Am G F C |
| On this moment, I recall your face |
| Am |
| And I wonder if you still |
| D/F# |
| Think about me |
| Am Am/G Am/F E |
| Occasionally I still think of you |
| Asus4 A |
| And I watch the river flow |
| Am A |
| And I know I must let go |
| Am Am/G |
| But it's oh so hard |
| Am/F |
| For the waves are all |
| E |
| Around my small canoe |
| F G/E |
| I had always hoped this boat |
| Am |
| Could carry two |
| Am F |
| Oh my what a shame |
| Am C |
| No one's to blame |
| G |
| It just happened that way |
| Am Am/G |
| And there's nothing you can say |
| Am/F# E |
| When two people say goodbye |
| Am |
| Oh my |
