Cryin Shame - Johnny Diesel and the Injectors (1989)

This is as close as I could figure out from the recorded version without
making it too complicated to play and sing along.  He likes to do palm mute
strumming in between the chords alot which gives it that distinct sound 
and feel.  Great song by an incredible artist and definitely worth 
learning for the camp fire.
Enjoy!
