Its A Shame About Him

G D Last night Ellen bid and made a three no-trump G And took a hundred dollars from her friends D She got a little nest egg when her daddy died G And now they're living on the dividends C G Ellen is the chairman of the Children's Fund D G She's the biggest donor, don't you know C G And I recall the day the drinks were on the house D G When Ellen finally beat the tennis pro [Chorus] C G But it's a shame about him, It's a shame about him C D When he's trying so hard, And he still just can't win G C It's a shame about him, Unh unh unh G D It's a shame about him [Verse 2] G D It was back in Eisenhower's second term G Before they put old Elvis in a tank D That Ellen married Bill and Sarah's oldest boy G The wedding was good news down at the bank C G Bill Jr. wasn't half the man his father was D G And he just let the business go to hell C G And if Ellen hadn't waded in and taken charge D G The family woulda prob'ly had to sell [Chorus] C G But it's a shame about him, It's a shame about him C D When he's trying so hard, And he 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 G And he's put on an awful lot of weight D He was off to see his lawyer so he couldn't talk G Already he was half an hour late C G But Marjorie the teller says the rumor is D G Ellen told Bill Jr. that they're through C G Now watch and see, without that man to hold her down D G There is just no telling what she'll do [Chorus] C G But it's a shame about him, It's a shame about him C D When he's trying so hard, And he still just can't win G C It's a shame about him, Unh unh unh D D It's a shame about him
