Son of Shame
guitar chords lyrics
If you want to play it like they do on the recording, tune your guitar down a half
step and transpose these chords up a half step.
Eb
Lookin' past the edge of moonlight,
Ab Eb
Hoping for the break of day.
Eb
Seein' only cracks in sidewalks, not
Bb
the paved city way.
Eb
Lookin' down this road to glory in a
Ab Eb
car designed to fail.
Eb
Breathin' cold winds of freedom
Bb Eb
while my mind remains in jail.
(2x)
Ab
With a strong steady tailwind, all I
Eb Bb
see is pourin' rain.
Ab
A victim of a brutal mindset walks
Eb Bb
this lonely son of shame.
Eb
Because the grass is always
Ab Cm
greener, I will sit here in my pain.
Eb
Lookin' at the wealth around me.
Ab Bb Eb
Woe is me, this son of shame.
Eb
Well its pouring snow on the
Ab
outside, but all Im seeing is the
Eb
slush.
Eb
Looking at the wealth around me,
Bb
but just thinkin' I aint got much.
Eb
Im that man thats prone to worry
Ab Eb
in that far off glory land.
Eb
Who do I think Im kidding? No one
Bb Eb
cares or understands.
Ab
With a strong steady tailwind, all I
Eb Bb
see is pourin' rain.
Ab
A victim of a brutal mindset walks
Eb Bb
this lonely son of shame.
Eb
Because the grass is always
Ab Cm
greener, I will sit here in my pain.
Eb
Lookin' at the wealth around me.
Ab Bb Eb
Woe is me, this son of shame.
Eb Ab
And then I start to wonder about all
Eb
that Ive been through.
Eb
I opened up my eyes and see that
Bb
every day is new.
Eb Ab
I consider all my ways; the paths
Cm
that Ive pursued...
Eb Ab
Man, Im so ashamed as I sit here
Bb Eb
with a life misused.
Ab
With a mountain set before me all I
Eb Bb
see is victory.
Ab
But I know theres someone out
Eb Bb
there and His mind remains on me.
Eb
Says the Father over his children, "It
Ab Cm
was for you that I came.
Eb
Youre the apple of my eye, son, my
Ab Bb Eb Ab
precious son of shame...
Eb Bb Eb Ab Eb Bb
...shame...son of shame...shame...son
Eb
of shame."
