other chord tabs i have found for this song . enjoy!

Em G
two packs of cigarettes a day the strongest whiskey kentucky can make

A C
that’s the recipe to put a vagabond on his hands and knees

Em
i watched it all up close i knew it more than most

G
i saw a side of him i could never show

A C
for the sympathy for a world that wouldn’t let him be

Em G
that’s the man he was have you heard enough?

Em G D C Em
what a shame what a shame to judge a life that you can’t change

Em G D C Em
the choir sings the chuch bells ring so won’t you give this man his wings

E G D C Am
what a shame to have to beg you to see we’re not all the same

Em
what a shame

Em G
there’s a hard life for every silver spoon there’s a touch of grey for

every shade of blue

A C
that’s the way that i see life if there was nothing wrong then there’d be

nothing right

Em
and for this working man they said could barely stand

G
there’s got to be a better place to land

A C
some kind of remedy for a world that wouldn’t let him be

Em G
that’s the man he was have you heard enough

Em G D C Em
what a shame what a shame to judge a life that you can’t change

Em G D C Em
the choir sings the chuch bells ring so won’t you give this man his wings

E G D C Am
what a shame to have to beg you to see we’re not all the same

Em
what a shame

Am Bsus4 C D
god forgive the hands that laid you down ( note : when you play Bsus4 dont
strum the bass or high E strings )
G D
they never knew how ,

Am Bsus4 C D
but your broken heart can break the sound

G D
and change the season

Am G Bsus4
now the leaves are falling faster ,

Am G
happily ever after

Am G Bsus4
you gave me hope through your endeavors

Am Bsus4 C D F G Am
and now you will live for – ev – er

i havent quite got the key change figured out from the recording but it isnt
neccesary to play the song
