What A Crying Shame
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Recorded By The Mavericks

Written By Kostas & Raul Malo


Here's a song from, in my opinion, one of the best country groups to come
along in a long time.


4/4 time    |    | = 1 measure

{intro}
 |G   |D  C  |G  |D  C  |G   |D  C  |G   |D  C  |


{First Verse}
 |G                       |D           C      | {repeat for each line}
                Wasn't I   Good  To    You
                Didn't I   Show-----   It
                And If I   Ever Hurt   You
                I Didn't   Know-----   It
              If You Think I  Don't    Care
               Then You're Mist----a---ken
               My Love Was Always---   There
        But Now My Heart's  Brea-----  kin'

CHORUS:

 |G           |D               C      |
    (Oh) Baby  Oh   What  A    Cryin'
  Shame     To Let  It   All   Slip
  Away     And Call      It    Yester
  day-----
  Baby     My  Life    Would   Be  So
  Blue     And My Heart  Would Break In
  Two          Oh   What   A   Crying
  Shame       {D}              {C}
{End Chorus}

{Second Verse}
 |G                 |D            C     |
            'Cause I Believed  In You
         From The Begin ---    ning
           I Thought Our Love Was True
     But Now Its All End ----     ing


CHORUS

 |C    |D    |G   |C    |D   |

CHORUS

 |G      |D         C           |
          Oh What A Crying Shame

       Oh What A Crying Shame

          Oh What A Crying Shame

       Oh What A Crying Shame

 |G      |D         C           |  {Repeat And Fade}
