Chords with lyrics

Oh What A augmentedA Shame

Roy Wood

(capo on 1st fret for recorded key)


        D MajorD
Well I?ve been hanging? around

I'm just a one of the crowd
     G+G     D/F#D/F# E minorEm
And there ain?t much going on
      A augmentedA
?Til I was cruising along with the radio on
         Asus2Asus2   D MajorD
Playin? one of my favourite songs

Now they are taking my tyres

I?ll get my girl on the wire
     G+G   D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
Supposin? I ever find a phone
     A augmentedA
But to my utter dismay
     Asus2Asus2  A augmentedA
I got the answer okay
     A7A7       D MajorD
The other voice was a baritone

CHORUS:
     G+G        D MajorD
Oh what a shame Oh what a shame
     G+G  F#F# FF E minorEm  A augmentedA          D MajorD
Oh what a shame (Gotta get) Back on the road again


    D MajorD
Feelin? less than inspired

I chased the girl I admired
     G+G    D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
Her fancy coat was real raccoon
      A augmentedA
She could begin the beguine

While reading Life magazine
             Asus2Asus2 D MajorD
And feed her face with a silver spoon

I must be so debonair

I threw my glass in the air
       G+G     D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
And said: ?Do you wanna take me home??
      A augmentedA
For making such a display
      Asus2Asus2    A augmentedA
She drove me down to the bay
       A7A7        D MajorD
And threw me out in the danger zone

     G+G        D MajorD
Oh what a shame Oh what a shame
     G+G  F#F# FF E minorEm  A augmentedA          D MajorD
Oh what a shame (Gotta get) Back on the road again

         D MajorD
Well I have been gettin? up early

With some beautiful girls
      G+G     D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
And I?ll admit I?ve enjoyed a few
       A augmentedA
I?m tired of trackin? around

I end up being the hound
            Asus2Asus2 D MajorD
I know this is what I?m gonna do

I gotta get some honey

With a big white sunny top
G+G      D/F#D/F# E minorEm
Road Rocket Chevrolet
      A augmentedA
So with her seat belt tied
     Asus2Asus2  A augmentedA
I?ll pull into the side
      A7A7        D MajorD
To see the cops tow the car away

     G+G        D MajorD
Oh what a shame Oh what a shame
     G+G  F#F# FF E minorEm  A augmentedA          D MajorD
Oh what a shame (Gotta get) Back on the road again
     G+G        D MajorD
Oh what a shame Oh what a shame
     G+G  F#F# FF E minorEm  A augmentedA          D MajorD
Oh what a shame (Gotta get) Back on the road again
