The Shame chords by Levellers
Intro 1
G
Verse 1
G
A Million Times times I've
looked at the tides
Never before I found myself blinded
Em
by the cold burning tears
G
Of anger and pity and shame
The lion before me is a tiny young life
Ended by years of hatred and crime
Em
Killed by indifference,
G
fanatic religious divides
Crept out of hiding and ran for their lives
Too young for fighting,
too young to take sides
Em
The hope for the future
G
washed up there in the brine
It's important to note
that the waters they jumped in
were international
They'd penned all their hopes
Em
on rumours of Eden
G
The promise of freedom we gave
Am
At the door you left open,
D
you slammed in their face
Am
I'm full of self -loathing
D
It's a common disgrace
Am
As a world we do nothing
D
G
But silently let them die
Am
Tell me my friends,
D
does the fu ture look rosy?
G
Do you sleep well in bed?
Em
Safe, warm and cosy?
Am
Do you hope someone finds
A
D
a solution?
G
Overnight
Am
D
Tell me again, our history repeats
G
Em
How we could learn from all our mistakes
Am
How you'd like to help,
D
G
Em
G
but sadly your hands are tied
Am
We're gra cious and bigots
D
running countries and business
Am
D
No real religions, just misguided misfits
A
Am
D
G
Business as usual, toying the party line
Am
How proud you must feel
D
when you're cutting your deals
Am
With arms manufacturers
D
greasing the wheels,
Am
selling bullets and bombs
A
D
G
To the men with the guns taking lives
Am
Tell me my friend,
D
does the fu ture look rosy?
G
Do you sleep well in bed,
Em
safe warm and cosy?
Am
Do you hope someone finds
D
G
a solution overnight?
Am
D
Tell me again, our history repeats
G
How we could learn from
Em
all our mistakes
Am
How you liked to help,
A
D
G
but sadly you haven't the time you
