Its A Shame About Him
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
G D
Last night Ellen bid and made a three no-trump
G
And took a hundred dollars from her friends
D
She got a little nest egg when her daddy died
G
And now they're living on the dividends
C G
Ellen is the chairman of the Children's Fund
D G
She's the biggest donor, don't you know
C G
And I recall the day the drinks were on the house
D G
When Ellen finally beat the tennis pro
[Chorus]
C G
But it's a shame about him, It's a shame about him
C D
When he's trying so hard, And he still just can't win
G C
It's a shame about him, Unh unh unh
G D
It's a shame about him
[Verse 2]
G D
It was back in Eisenhower's second term
G
Before they put old Elvis in a tank
D
That Ellen married Bill and Sarah's oldest boy
G
The wedding was good news down at the bank
C G
Bill Jr. wasn't half the man his father was
D G
And he just let the business go to hell
C G
And if Ellen hadn't waded in and taken charge
D G
The family woulda prob'ly had to sell
[Chorus]
C G
But it's a shame about him, It's a shame about him
C D
When he's trying so hard, And he still just can't win
G C
It's a shame about him, Unh unh unh
D D
It's a shame about him
[Verse 3]
G D
Well I just saw Bill Jr. in the bank today
G
And he's put on an awful lot of weight
D
He was off to see his lawyer so he couldn't talk
G
Already he was half an hour late
C G
But Marjorie the teller says the rumor is
D G
Ellen told Bill Jr. that they're through
C G
Now watch and see, without that man to hold her down
D G
There is just no telling what she'll do
[Chorus]
C G
But it's a shame about him, It's a shame about him
C D
When he's trying so hard, And he still just can't win
G C
It's a shame about him, Unh unh unh
D D
It's a shame about him
