Capo on 1st fret


Verse 1:  G
          I'm a fine young man
                                D
          That's what my teachers say

          Yeah but who gave them the right
                                        G
          To tell me what's not wrong anyway


          G
          I take to heart and listen to their pleas
                                           D
          I follow all the paths that they've laid


Bridge:   C              G
          They fooled me once
          D              G
          They fooled me twice
                     C                    G
          Shame on them for doing me that way
          D                    G
          Shame on me just the same

Verse 2:  G
          Sweet Ann Marie
                                    D
          She was the beauty of our school

          I emptied both my pockets
                                                 G
          And my money was seduced by her eyes of blue


          G
          She gave me her love and her malady
                                                   D
          But it seems that she had more to spread around

Bridge:   C             G
          She fooled me once
          D             G
          She fooled me twice
                   C                     G
          Shame on her for doing me that way
          D
          Shame on me just the same

Chorus:   D                              G
          Shame on you for doing me that way
          C               D                  G
          Shame on me for thinking you could change
          D                                 G
          Shame on you for telling me those lies
          C                 D              G
          Shame on me I believed you every time

Verse 3:  G
          Surgeon general he warns me
                                    D
          Don't drink or smoke to excess

          'Cause that alcohol will own you
                                                   G
          And the smoking tempts the devil to your chest


          G
          Don't preach to me boy 'cause I won't learn a thing
                                              D
          Now fetch me one more smoke before I drown

Bridge:   C             G
          You fooled me once
          D             G
          You fooled me twice
          C                              G
          Shame on you for doing me that way
          D                                G
          It's always shame on me just the same

Chorus

Ending    G
          I'm a fine young man

          That's what my teachers say
