Oh My What Shame Chords

  			Verse: 
          Am  (e) G                 F    C 
They were married in the old Church yard 
          C             Am           D/F# 
And they promised to be true to each other 
   Am          Am/G      Am/F        E 
No matter how hard their lives might be 
         Asus4        A            Am          A 
But like meteors that fell through moments parallel 
          Am      Am/G 
They were soon to cross 
                 Am/F                          E 
And on different plots of earth they both did fall 
              F               G/E             Am 
Though their lives had really not been hard at all 

Chorus: 
Am           F 
Oh my what a shame 
Am           C 
No one's to blame 
                      G 
It just happened that way 
            Am              Am/G 
And there's nothing you can say 
     Am/F#            E 
When two people say goodbye 

Oh my... 

Instrumental verse: 
Am, G, F, C 
Am, Am/G, Am/F#, F, E, Am 

Verse: 
Two brothers, promised they'd return 
When the war that they were fighting was over 
But only one lived to keep his vow 
And the story I was told said he lived to be quite old 
Before time won out 
Someone asked if he knew what they both fought for 
But he could not recall he had ever been to war 

(Chorus) 

Bridge: 
            Am              G             F 
For there's nothing you can say when it's over 
And there's nothing you can do when it's done 
           Am             G 
There's no battle you can win 
            D/F#         F 
And there's nothing to begin 
           e 
That's not begun 

Verse: 
On this moment, I recall your face 
And I wonder if you still think about me 
Occasionally I still think of you 
And I watch the river flow and I know I must let go 
But it's oh so hard 
For the waves are all around my small canoe 
I had always hoped this boat could carry two      

(Chorus again)
