[Verse 1]

G             D              Am C
Once when our mother called, 
G             D           Am        C
She had a voice of last year's cough. 
G             D              Am C
We passed around the phone, 
G             D     Am       C
Sharing a word about Oregon.
G             D    Am      C
When my turn came, I was ashamed. 
G             D    Am      C
When my turn came, I was ashamed. 

G D Am C x4 (+banjo solo)


[Verse 2]

G             D          Am C
Once when we moved away, 
G             D      Am       C
She came to Romulus for a day. 
G          D             Am C
Her Chevrolet broke down. 
G             D         Am                C
We prayed it'd never be fixed or be found.
G              D     Am             C 
We touched her hair, we touched her hair. 
G              D     Am             C
We touched her hair, we touched her hair.

[Verse 3]

G             D         Am    C
When she had her last child, 
G             D           Am                 C
Once when she had some boyfriends, some wild. 
G           D           Am    C
She moved away quite far. 
G             D           Am      C
Our grandpa bought us a new VCR.
G                  D          Am            C 
We watched it all night, but grew up in spite of it.
G                  D          Am            C 
We watched it all night, but grew up in spite of it.

[Verse 4]

G             D           Am  C
We saw her once last fall. 
G             D           Am        C
Our grandpa died in a hospital gown. 
G             D       Am    C
She didn't seem to care. 
G             D              Am            C
She smoked in her room and colored her hair. 


[Outro]

G         D   Am           C
I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her 
G         D   Am           C
I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her 
G         D   Am           C
I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her 
G         D   Am           C     G
I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her
