A F#m
Well I walk the way you want me to
A F#m
And I'll talk the way you want me to
E D E
And I've tried to do all I can just to please you
A F#m
Well I work hard every day for you
A F#m
And I brought home all my pay for you
E D Dm E
And I've cried my tears through the rain night and again
[chorus]
A E A
And oh whoa girl, it's a shame
A Dm A
Oh whoa girl, it's a doggone shame
D A E A
We worked so hard, but it's all in vain
A E A
Oh whoa girl, it's a shame

A F#m
Now I bought your gold and diamond rings
A F#m
And I brought you home your pretty things
E D E
And I thought I'd shown all the love I had for you, yes I did
A F#m
But as hard as I try it all falls through
A F#m
Well maybe I was born to be just your fool
E D Dm E
Trying to satisfy your every desire, each need you require
[chorus]

Well oh whoa girl, it's a shame
A Dm A
Oh whoa girl, it's a doggone shame

I worked so hard, but it's all in vain
