roy wood  oh what a shame chords
Start Jamming...
I'm just a wild and quick clown,
[Ab] I don't know anything [Cm] that's [Fm] going on.
[Bb] Cruising along [Bb]
with the radio on,
Playing one of my favorite [Eb] songs.
Baby, shaking my top,
I get my girl on the watch,
I [Ab] won't let her [C] ever find [Fm] the phone.
[Bb] After this May, I got me actually okay,
The other boys find it bad [Eb] and so,
Oh, [Ab] I'm ashamed.
[Eb] I'm ashamed.
[Ab] I'm ashamed.
[C]
[Bb] I won't [Eb] forget it.
Feeling less than inspired,
I've reached the girl I admire,
A [Ab] fancy coat, [G] a watch, a ring [Fm] or a cube.
She [Bb] could think in the beginning,
Why I'd be in a magazine,
I'd be the face with a silver [Eb] spoon.
I don't need some heaven there,
I feel like glass in the [Eb] air,
[Ab] I bet that you [C] wanna take [F] me home.
I'll [Bb] make it such a display,
She'd throw me down to the [Bb] lake,
I'll throw me out [F] in the day,
[Eb] So, oh, [Ab] I'm ashamed.
I'm ashamed.
I'm [Ab] ashamed.
[F] I [Bb] won't [Eb] forget it.
There
[Fm] [C]
[Fm] [Ab]
[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb]
was some beauty in the girl,
[Ab] I admit that I've enjoyed [Fm] a few.
She'll [Bb] be in the house,
This is what I'm [Eb] gonna do.
I'd [Ab] sonic top the Rover, I'd [F] Chevrolet.
[Bb] So, when the seatbelt's hot,
I'd roll into the sack,
You'd see the cops on the [Eb] door,
I'd wait, [Db]
I'm [Ab] ashamed.
[Eb] I'm ashamed.
I'm [Ab] ashamed.
[Bb] I'm
[Eb] [Bb] [Eb] ashamed.
[Ab] I'm
[Ab] ashamed.
[Bb] I'm the [Eb] road to hell.
