Crying Shame

Song Title : Cryin' Shame

Artist : Johnny Diesel

Album : Chryslian (something similar anyway)

Johnny Diesel is a great Australian artist. He music varies from slow

jazz to funky blue to pure rock. It surprises that noone has tabbed any of

his music. It is probably because he doesn't get as much recognition

overseas as he does in Australia. Even then he is not on the TIP OF MY

TONGUE when you ask me who my favourite Australian artist. Even though

he is in fact my favourite Australian artist. Johnny just doesn't get much

publicity (bad management). Anyway enough crap....here is Cryin Shame!

Lyrics

Verse 1 ( play V.C.P.)

Picking up the pieces up off the floor

How did I know there was gonna be a war

Words of sorrow and words of spite

Ringing in my head right through the night

Chorus (C.C.P.)

Don't you know its a cryin shame

Well you got yourself to blame

Don't you know its a cryin shame

oohhhhhh oohhh!!

Verse 2 (V.C.P.)

Woke up this morning and its raining again

Stop and wondered if its somethin I said

Words of sorrow and words of spite

Ringing in my head right through the night

Repeat Chorus (C.C.P.)

Bridge (B.C.P.)

cry cry cry cryin shame

cry cry cry cryin shame

Solo - play solo over following progressions using saxophone!

Verse 3 (V.C.P)

I was up all night with a conscience fight

Just couldn't sleep so I put on the light

Sheets so wet when I was out in sweat

Mommas gotta cure but it ain't in you

Repeat Chorus

- a couple of times using first section of chord

progression before ending chorus and smoothly sliding into the outro

I'd love to see more Johnny Diesel tabbed and put on the olga just quitely!
