One Mans Shame Chords

(ver. 1)
William Elliott Whitmore
Cm
Don't alter my altar, don't desecrate my shrine
                  F                                    Cm
My church is the water and my home is underneath the shady pines
Cm
Don't underestimate the spine in a poor man's back
                       G                      Cm
when it's against the wall and his future's black


            F                      Cm
One man's story is another man's shame
                    F                      Cm
I ain't bound for glory, I'm bound for flames
                  F                      Cm
Take to the woods boy, and cover up your tracks
     F                   G                      Cm
Go away child, go away child and don't look back

     F                   G                      Cm

Cm
Sad is the lullaby from a mother's heart and soul
                    F                          Cm                
when she knows her child has strayed from the fold
Cm
The parish will perish by death's cruel hand
                G                  Cm
and finish the job that fate began
Cm
And all that static in the attic, that's just an old drunk ghost
                F                          Cm
His chains are rattlin' but his end is close
Cm
Ain't no hell below, ain't no heaven above
                 G                            Cm
I came for the drinks but I stayed for the love 


            F                      Cm
One man's story is another man's shame
                    F                      Cm
I ain't bound for glory, I'm bound for flames
                  F                      Cm
Take to the woods boy, and cover up your tracks
     F                   G                      Cm
Go away child, go away child and don't look back

     F                   G                      Cm

Cm
Don't alter my altar, don't desecrate my shrine
                  F                                    Cm
My church is the water and my home is underneath the shady pines
Cm
Don't underestimate the spine in a poor man's back
                       G                      Cm
when it's against the wall and his future's black


            F                      Cm
One man's story is another man's shame
                    F                      Cm
I ain't bound for glory, I'm bound for flames
                  F                      Cm
Take to the woods boy, and cover up your tracks
     F                   G                      Cm
Go away child, go away child and don't look back

                  F                      Cm
Take to the woods boy, and cover up your tracks
     F                   G                      Cm
Go away child, go away child and don't look back
     F                   G                      Cm
Go away child, go away child and don't look back
