              Intro: G-D 
 
(Chorus) 
         G                D 
Shame on me, for hurting you 
                            G 
What can I say? what can I do 
                                     D  
Last night I was blind but to-day I see 
                          G 
I did you wrong, Shame on me 
 
 
Spoken (Same Chords As Above) 
 
 
You say you won't be seeing me again, you say we're through 
 
I don't want to see the sunrise to-morrow If I knew that to be true 
 
I know that just saying I'm sorry doesn't sound a lot 
 
But the girl you saw me with last night means no more to me 
 
Than a thousand stars to the great clouds that cover the night 
 
The more I look at her the more I realise how much I love you. 
 
(Repeat Chorus) 
 
Spoken 
 
 
I'll admit I shouldn't have given in to love's wild temptation 
 
For someone I cared nothing for; I was blind and I hurt you 
 
Can you ever forgive a fool a fool who really loves you 
 
 
G                                    D 
Last night I was blind but to-day I see 
                          G  
I did you wrong, Shame on me
