  			C                  G 
I found a letter just yesterday 
Am                           F 
And what it say I can't disclose. 
C                  G 
I read that letter and every word it say 
Am                    F 
And my heart it just froze. 

           C                  G 
Ain't it a shame, ain't it a shame 
           C                     F 
Ain't it shame, such a sad, sad shame 
                 C    
My baby's been runnin' around,  
             G 
All around this town  
              C   G  F   C 
With another man. 
 
C                             G 
I packed her stuff up, put it out on the front porch 
Am                                F 
When she gets home she'll surely see. 
C                                          G 
You know it was so hard goin' through our life together, 
                   Am                       F              
Figurin' out what belongs to you and what belongs to me 
 
           C                  G 
Ain't it a shame, ain't it a shame 
           C                     F 
Ain't it shame, such a sad, sad shame 
                 C    
My baby's been runnin' around,  
             G 
All around this town  
              C   G  F   C 
With another man. 
 
 
Em                      Am 
So many times I've forgiven her 
Em                   Am 
So much time I can never get back 
Dm                                     Am 
I don't wanna know how long it's been goin' on 
Em                                 G 
I just wanna leave this town and never look back  
 
           C                  G 
Ain't it a shame, ain't it a shame 
           C                     F 
Ain't it shame, such a sad, sad shame 
                 C    
My baby's been runnin' around,  
             G 
All around this town  
              F  C  G  C  G 
With another man. 
             F   C  G  C 
Ain't it a shame?
