What A Shame About Me

  • Am7/D
What a Shame About Me 


|Am7      |          |            |              |



|Am7      |          |            |              |



|Am7      |          |            |              |



|Am7      |          |            | *             |




Am7
I was grinding through my day gig
                              
Stackin' cutouts at the Strand*
 
When in walks Franny from NYU
 
We were quite an item back then


   Dm7 
We talked about her films and shows and Cds
 
And I don't know what else* 


                Am7
She said, yeah, Hollywood's been good to me
 
But tell me - how about yourself 


          C7+           F13
I'm still working on that novel


        D#7+       F13 
But I'm just about to quit


           D                  C#7 
'Cause I'm worrying about the future now


   B7            A#7+
Or maybe this is it
 


     F7+          B7+9             A#7+  E13-9
It's not all that I thought it would be 


       A#9    B7+9    Gsus4/7  A#maj13
What a shame a bout me 


Am7
        She said, talk to me, do you ever see

Anybody else from our old crew*

Bobby Dakine won the Bunsen Prize

Now he's coming out with something new 


Dm7
Alan owns a chain of Steamer Heavens 

And Barry is the software king* 


    Am7
And somebody told me in the early 80's 



You were gonna be the Next Big Thing 


         C7+           F13
Well now that was just a rumour 


      D#7+        F13
But I guess I'm doin' fine 


D                      C#7
Three weeks out of the rehab 


       B7           A#7+
Living one day at a time 


         F7+     B7+9   A#7+   E13-9
Sneaking up on the new century 


       A#9     B7+9     Gsus4/7   A#maj13
What a shame a  bout me 


Am7                      Gm7
        What a shame about me 



                  A#m7/m           Fmaj9
I'm thinking of a major Jane Street sunrise 


        A#13           Csus4/m   D#m7/5+
And the goddess on the fire     escape was you 


|C#m7/5-       |             |G#m7         |             |


|C#m7/5-       |             |G#m7         |             |


|F#m7        |G#m7      |



   Am7
We both ran out of small talk 

The connection seemed to go dead*
 
I was about to say, hey, have a nice life
 
When she touched my hand and said:


     Dm7 
You know I just had this great idea
 
This could be very cool*
 
Why don't we grab a cab to my hotel 


                       Am7
And make believe we're back at our old school 


       C7+            F13
I said babe you look de licious

           D#7+      F13
And you're standing very close 


         D             C#7
But like this is Lower Broadway 

           B7           A#7+
And you're talking to a ghost 


       F7+          B7+9    A#7+  E13-9
Take a good look it's easy to see 


       A#7+  D#maj9     E7  F        
What a shame  about me 

       A#9    B7+9     Gsus4/7  A#maj13   
What a shame a bout me 


   |Am7        |            |           |            |
   Shame!                      Shame about meâ?¦
