Verse 1 (guitars continue as above; chords indicated are composites of
all parts):
G#m9 G#m7/C# F#maj7 D#m
It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
G#m9 G#m7/C# F#maj7 D#m
It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you hurt me
G#m9 G#m7/C# F#maj7 D#m
It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
Bmaj7 B6 Bm7 Bm6
I'm sitting all alone by the telephone
G#m7 G#m7/C#
Waiting for your call when you don't call at all
Verse 2:
It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you play with my emotions
It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
You're like a child at play on a sunny day
But you play with love and then you throw it away
Bridge:
G#m9 G#m7/C# F#maj7 D#m
Why do you use me try to confuse me
G#m9 G#m7/C# F#maj7 D#m
How can you stand to be so cruel
Amaj7 Dmaj7
Why don't you free me from this prison
Emaj7 G#m7 G#m7/C#
Where I serve my time as your fool
Verse 3:
It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you hurt me
It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
I try to stay with you show you love so true
But you won't appreciate the love we try to make
[repeat first two lines of intro (two guitars w/drums)]
Oh, it's-a got to be a shame
[repeat bridge]
Verse 4:
Got to be a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
Ohhh, it's a shame (sha-ame), the way you hurt me
It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
You've got my heart in chains and I must complain
I just can't be content oh, look at (unintelligible)
Coda:
[vocal improvisation over verse chords; fade on 4th line]
-- another ace 70's tab from Andrew Rogers
