Am
 Pretty little baby

F7                        Am
 How come you never come around?

F7
 Pretty little baby

F7                        Am
 How come you never come around?

F7
 I sent you all them pretty flowers

E7                        Am
 Now you're nowhere to be found
[Verse 2]
Am                                     F7
 I call you up at midnight sometimes I must admit

                       Am
And find you're not at home

F7
 My head heats up like a furnace

                             Am
My heart grows colder than a stone

F7                                       E7
 So, what's the good of all this money I got

                                  Am
If every night I'm left here all alone? (It's a gun that I need ...)
[Chorus]
Am     G/A    Am     G/A    Am
Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame (I ain't ashamed of nothing)

Eb     Bb     F/C    E E/G# Am
Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame (I don't know what you're talking about)
[Verse 3]
Am
 All right let's talk a little business

F7
 You know what I'm saying

Am                         F7
 A man of my experience of life

                               Am
Don't expect a beautiful young woman like yourself

                           F7
To come on over here every day

                                             Am
And have some old dude banging on her like a gypsy on a tambourine

F7
That's not what we're talking about

F7
That's not what we're talking about

F7
That's not what we're talking about
[Verse 4]
Am
 But I will say this

F7
 I've been all over the world
I've seen some wonderful things
F7
 I haven't been well lately
I have no one to share my plans, my dreams
F7
 My hopes and my schemes, and my ...
[Chorus]
Am     G/A    Am     G/A    Am
Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame (You could be right, I've sunk pretty low this time)

Eb     Bb     F/C    E      Am
Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame (These are truly desperate times)
[Verse 5]
Am
 Saw your little sandals baby

F7              Am
 Out behind the wishing well

F7
 Down here in the cool depths of the Quarter

                    Am
Where the rich folk dwell

                      F7                   Am
And I pictured you in diamonds, satins and pearls

F7               E7
 Come on back to Daddy

                                Am
Daddy miss his little baby girl
[Bridge]
C                E               Am
 Now, my father, he was an angry man

C                 E        Am
 You cross him he made you pay

C                E               Am
 I myself, am no longer an angry man

F7
 Don't make me beg you

E7
 Don't make me beg
[Solo] | Am | F7 | Am | % | | F7 | E7 | Am | % | [Verse 6]
Am
 Do you know what if feels like

F7
 To wake up in the morning

Am                        F7
 Have every joint in your body aching, God damn it?

Am
 Do you know what it feels like

F7                                               Am
 To have to get up in the middle of the night and sit down to take a piss?

F7
 You do know? So you say

Am
 I have my doubts, Missy

                    F7
Do you know what it feels like

                                 Am
To have to beg a little bum like you for love?

                       F7
God damn it you little bitch, I'd kill you if I didn't love you so much
[Chorus]
Am     G/A    Am     G/A                Am
Shame, shame, shame, shame (Shut up!)
[Verse 7]
Am
 Forgive me

Am
 My unfocused words

Am
 I was flying blind

Am
 I lost my mind

Am
     If you could find it in your heart, if you got one
(Shame Shame Shame)
Am
To forgive me,  I'd be ever so grateful
(Shame Shame Shame)
Am
Will you stop that please
(Shame Shame Shame)
Am
Will you stop that please I'm trying to talk to someone
(Shame) Thank you [Coda]
Am
You know, I have a Lexus now

Am
I don't get out much

Am
You know what I'm saying

Am              Am
Come on home
