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!
V.C.P.
C.C.P.
B.C.P.

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!
