[Verse 1]

G+G       D MajorD       A minorAm C majorC
Once when our mother called,
G+G       D MajorD      A minorAm    C majorC
She had a voice of last year's cough.
G+G       D MajorD       A minorAm C majorC
We passed around the phone,
G+G       D MajorD   A minorAm    C majorC
Sharing a word about Oregon.
G+G       D MajorD  A minorAm   C majorC
When my turn came, I was ashamed.

When my turn came, I was ashamed.

[Verse 2]

G+G       D MajorD     A minorAm C majorC
Once when we moved away,
G+G       D MajorD   A minorAm    C majorC
She came to Romulus for a day.
G+G     D MajorD       A minorAm C majorC
Her Chevrolet broke down.
G+G       D MajorD     A minorAm        C majorC
We prayed it'd never be fixed or be found.
G+G       D MajorD   A minorAm       C majorC
We touched her hair, we touched her hair.
G+G       D MajorD   A minorAm       C majorC
We touched her hair, we touched her hair.

When she had her last child,
G+G       D MajorD      A minorAm         C majorC
Once when she had some boyfriends, some wild.
G+G      D MajorD      A minorAm  C majorC
She moved away quite far.
G+G       D MajorD      A minorAm   C majorC
Our grandpa bought us a new VCR.
G+G         D MajorD     A minorAm      C majorC
We watched it all night, but grew up in spite of it.
G+G         D MajorD     A minorAm      C majorC
We watched it all night, but grew up in spite of it.

Our grandpa died in a hospital gown.
G+G       D MajorD    A minorAm  C majorC
She didn't seem to care.
G+G       D MajorD       A minorAm      C majorC
She smoked in her room and colored her hair.


[Outro]

G+G     D MajorD  A minorAm      C majorC
I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her

I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her
G+G     D MajorD  A minorAm      C majorC   G+G
I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her
