ARTIST: Indigo Girls TITLE: Shame on You Lyrics and Chords My friends they wash the windows And they shine in the sun They tell me wake up early in the morning sometime See what a beautiful job we done I say let's put on some tunes sing along And do little all day Go down to the riverside take off our shoes And wash these sins away / A - - - / D - E - / : The river said la la la, it said shame on you The river said la la la, it said shame on you / A - - - D - E - / / I go down to Chicano city park 'Cause it makes me feel so fine When the weeds go down you can see up close In the dead of the winter time But when the summer comes everything's in bloom And you wouldn't know it's there And the white folks like to pretend it's not But their music's in the air And you can hear 'em singing, la la la, they say shame on you And you can feel them dancing, la la la, they say shame on you My friend Tanner she says, "You know me and Jesus We're of the same heart The only thing that keeps us distant Is that I keep fuckin' up" I said, "Come on down to Chicano city park And wash your blues away" The beautiful ladies walk on by You know I never know what to say And they'll be singing, oo la-la-la-la-la, shame on you They'll be dancin', la la la, they say shame on you, shame on you Let's go road block trippin' in the middle of the night Up in Gainesville town There'll be blue lights flashin' down the long dirt road When they ask us to step out They say, "We be looking for illegal immigrants Can we check your car?" I say, "You know it's funny I think we were on the same boat Back in 1694" And I said, oo la-la-la-la-la, shame on you They'll be dancin', la la la, they say shame on you, shame on you Oo la-la-la-la-la, shame on you, shame on you La la la, shame on you, shame on you
