Ray LaMontagne – Henry Nearly Killed Me Its A Shame (Guitar)

E
All my life been poor boy son

E
Scratchin' for my meat

E
I have been kicked in my teeth

E
Till the blood run hot and sweet

E
Seen a lot of livin’ my friends

E
This I will repeat

E
Just because you knock a man down

E
Don't mean that you got him beat

E
It's a shame, shame, shame

E
Baby it's a cryin' shame

E
It's a shame, shame, shame

E
Baby it's a cryin' shame

E
Henry nearly killed me,

E
'Fore they hauled his ass in jail

E
Slapped me right across my face

E
With a flour sack full o' nails

E
Nearly broke my head in two

E
With his steel-toed boots

E
Shovin' all that money

E
Down the laundry chute

E
It's a shame, shame, shame

E
Baby it's a cryin' shame

E
It's a shame, shame, shame

E
Cryin' shame

E
Sweet little Mary Anne

E
With her make-up all a mess

E
Picks herself up off the floor

E
Coughs and straightens her dress

E
Sayin' please, please daddy

E
Can I have just a little bit more

E
Said sorry baby, but I'm headin' out

E
Somehow this town don't feel like home anymore

E
It's a shame, shame, shame

E
Baby it's a cryin' shame

E
It's a shame, shame, shame

E
Baby it's a cryin' shame

E
It's a shame, shame, shame

E
Baby it's a cryin' shame

E
It's a shame, shame, shame

E
Baby it's a cryin' shame

E
Seen a lot of living my friend

E
This I will repeat

E
Just because you knock a man down

E
Don't mean that you got him beat

E
It's a shame, shame, shame

E
Baby it's a cryin' shame

E
It's a shame, shame, shame

E
Baby it's a cryin' shame

E
Shame, shame, shame

E
It's a shame, shame, shame
