Shame Chords
by Depeche Mode352 views, added to favorites 12 times
This chording basically imitates the bass keyboard lines. There is no guitar in the song, of course. I've provided the correct chord fingerings at the bottom of the song. One could eliminate the C and D chords completely and play only the A and G5 chords over the entire song if playing and singing the song in a solo performance with acoustic guitar. This might also be easier for novice players because the chord change speed required to include the C and D chords as written here might be difficult.Was this info helpful?

Do you ever get that feeling

when the guilt begins to hurt?

Seeing all the children
G5 D5 Dsus4 D5
wallowing in dirt

Do you ever get the feeling
G5 D5 Dsus4 D5
that something isn't right?
A D5 C A
Seeing your brother's fists
G5 D5 Dsus4 D5
clenched ready for the fight
A D5 C A
Soon the fighting turns to weapons
G5 D5 Dsus4 D5
and the weapons turn to wounds
A D5 C A
So the doctors stitch and stitch and stitch
G5 D5 Dsus4 D5
and stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch

Surgery won't improve your pain

Do you ever get the feeling

that something can be done
A D5 C A
To eradicate these problems
G5 D5 Dsus4 D5
and make the people one?
A D5 C A
Do you ever get that feeling
G5 D5 Dsus4 D5
something like a nagging itch?
A D5 C A
And all the while the doctors stitch
G5 D5 Dsus4 D5
and stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch
[Pre-Chorus]
A A A A A A A A
Hope alone won't remove the stains (Shame)
