Capo on 1st fret 
 
 
Verse 1:  G5 
          I'm a fine young man 
                                D5 
          That's what my teachers say 
 
          Yeah but who gave them the right 
                                        G5 
          To tell me what's not wrong anyway 
 
 
          G5 
          I take to heart and listen to their pleas 
                                           D5 
          I follow all the paths that they've laid 
 
 
bridge:   C5              G5 
          They fooled me once 
          D5              G5 
          They fooled me twice 
                     C5                    G5 
          Shame on them for doing me that way 
          D5                    G5 
          Shame on me just the same 
 

Verse 2:  G5 
          Sweet Ann Marie 
                                    D5 
          She was the beauty of our school 
 
          I emptied both my pockets 
                                                 G5 
          And my money was seduced by her eyes of blue 
 
 
          G5 
          She gave me her love and her malady 
                                                   D5 
          But it seems that she had more to spread around

          Shame on me just the same

          C5               D5                  G5 
          Shame on me for thinking you could change 
          D5                                 G5

                                    D5 
          Don't drink or smoke to excess 
 
          'Cause that alcohol will own you 
                                                   G5 
          And the smoking tempts the devil to your chest 
 
 
          G5 
          Don't preach to me boy 'cause I won't learn a thing 
                                              D5 
          Now fetch me one more smoke before I drown

          D5             G5 
          You fooled me twice

          Shame on you for doing me that way 
          D5                                G5
