Story behind the song
After singing and playing for many years the memory of a performer gets weaker and it is more and more difficult to remember the words - particularly of songs recently written. You hope the audience doesnt notice too muc. How do the big pros like Elton John do it??
Lyrics
Aint it a Shame (A3) C
Aint it a A shame Bm A Aint it a A shame Bm A
Aint it a A shame I’ve forgotten
The B7 words of my songs E7 again
Aint it a A shame C#7 They’ve ve all gone F#m7 away
B7 Don’t know how it E7 happened
A Aint it a A Bm A shame
A Singing my songs in the Bm bar room lights
A Picking my chords to get Bm nice and tight
A Hoping and praying F#m7 that tonight
Im B7 gonna get just a a few E7 words all right
A Glasses clinking A7 conversation
D7 Sometimes a little Gdim appreciation
A not for words just F#7 intonation
B7 Specu E7 lation A all
Chorus: Aint it a Shame
Elvis, Bowie, Elton John
Easily remembered all their songs
Had no problems on big stages
Turning over old file pages
But I’ll keep struggling learning lines
Telling tales and simple rhymes
Until that good time comes on by
When I’m singing in the sky
Chorus: Aint it a shame
