Its A Shame About Him

G                              D
Last night Ellen bid and made a 
three no-trump
And took a hundred dollars from her 
G
friends
She got a little nest egg when her 
D
daddy died
And now they're living on the 
    G
dividends
C                          
Ellen is the chairman of the 
  G
Children's Fund
D                                  
She's the biggest donor, don't you 
G
know
    C                              
And I recall the day the drinks 
  G
were on the house
     D                             
When Ellen finally beat the tennis 
G
pro

[Chorus]
           C                       
But it's a shame about him, It's a 
G
shame about him
          C                     
When he's trying so hard, And he 
 D
still just can't win
       G                C
It's a shame about him, Unh unh unh
       G               D
It's a shame about him

G                           D
It was back in Eisenhower's second 
term
                               G
Before they put old Elvis in a tank
That Ellen married Bill and Sarah's 
D
oldest boy
The wedding was good news down at 
    G
the bank
C                                
Bill Jr. wasn't half the man his 
G
father was
D                                  
And he just let the business go to 
G
hell
       C                        
And if Ellen hadn't waded in and 
 G
taken charge
     D                          
The family woulda prob'ly had to 
 G
sell

[Chorus]
           C                       
But it's a shame about him, It's a 
G
shame about him
          C                     
When he's trying so hard, And he 
 D
still just can't win
       G                C
It's a shame about him, Unh unh unh
       D               D
It's a shame about him

[Verse 3]
G                               D
Well I just saw Bill Jr. in the bank
 today
And he's put on an awful lot of 
G
weight
He was off to see his lawyer so he 
D
couldn't talk
                            G
Already he was half an hour late
   C                            
But Marjorie the teller says the 
  G
rumor is
D                                
Ellen told Bill Jr. that they're 
G
through
C                                 
Now watch and see, without that 
     G
man to hold her down
         D                         
There is just no telling what 
  G
she'll do

[Chorus]
           C                       
But it's a shame about him, It's a 
G
shame about him
          C                     
When he's trying so hard, And he 
 D
still just can't win
       G                C
It's a shame about him, Unh unh unh
       D               D
It's a shame about him
