Show Me A Little Shame by Ben Harper

Show Me A Little Shame tab by Ben Harper

Guitar tabs

Artist: Ben Harper
 Song: Show Me a Little Shame
Album: Burn to Shine

I worked this song out a week or so ago without too much trouble, as it is
reasonably simple and uses familiar guitar riffs.

Chords used:  C G F C7 E Am Bb
      e|-0--3--1--0--0--0--1-|  p = pull-off
      B|-1--3--1--1--0--1--3-|  d = downstroke
      G|-0--4--2--3--1--2--3-|  u = upstroke
      D|-2--5--3--2--2--2--3-|
      A|-3--5--3--3--2--0--1-|
      E|-x--3--1--x--0--x--x-|

Here is the intro and riff for the first verse. The other verses follow the
same pattern, except the last verse only really has bass and organ.

  d dudud dudud dudu *    C        G      F
e|-0-00000-00000-0000-------------1p0--------------------------------

E|---------------3-------------1-----------1-------------------------

     G      C   C7 *
e|---------------------0-----0---| If you don't want to pick the tune
B|-----------------------1---1---| just strum the chords, and adding
G|-------4p0---------0-----0-3---| an F# (244322) between the G and F
D|-----5-----5-----2---------2---| chords (as is done in the last
A|---5---------5-3-----------3---| verse with an organ) sounds really
E|-3-------------------------x---| good.
                 *
Strum the C7 into the start of the chorus, then the chorus chords  are:
        F     G     C   C7
   Won't you show me a little shame

Chorus ends each time with D|-5555-| before going back to the verse
              A|-5555-|
              E|-3333-|
riff (indicated with *).

I had problems working out if it's an E or E7 played in the bridge, they
both sound good, but I'll go with E.
Bridge:
        E              C
   Cos now I wake ...

   E               F
   I get through crying now and I.................................

   G                  Am      G    F
   I get through thinking ...

   Bb                         F    G
   I get through speaking ...

Well, that's it. Hope that's of use to somebody, any corrections or comments
then don't hesitate to e-mail me. Thanks,
                          Sam Coleman
