...SO WHAT THE FUSS... by Stevie Wonder
from 'A Time To Love' (2005)
CAPO 3rd FRET
(Original Key: Cm)
Intro/Riff:
[Am] [G] [F] [E7]
(Riff repeated in Verse/Chorus)
Verse 1:
If I'm caught at a [Am]dance party,
Without my [G]dancin' shoes,
And every-[F]body dances,
On my bare [E7]feet;
Shame on [Am]me.[G][F][E7]
If I'm mindin' my [Am]business,
Just [G]doin' the right thing,
And you [F]try to front me off,
In the [E7]street;
Shame on [Am]you.[G][F][E7]
If a family's [Am]waiting,
For that special blessing,
To [G]come their way,
But they ain't [F]tryin' to,
Get on their knees and [E7]pray;
Shame on [Am]them.[G][F][E7]
And if we live in a [Am]time,
Where every nation's,
Fightin' 'round the [G]world,
Yet we can't [F]all agree,
That peace is the [E7]way;
Shame on [Am]us.[G][F][E7]
Chorus 1:
Shame on [Am]me,[G]
Shame on [F]you,[E7]
Shame on [Am]them,[G]
Shame on [F]us.[E7]
Shame on [Am]me,
Shame on [G]you,
Shame on [F]them,
Shame on [E7]us;
So what the [Am]fuss?[G][F][E7]
Verse 2:
If I gotta get up [Am]early in the morning,
For a [G]job interview,
And I for-[F]get to set the stupid a-[Am]larm;
Shame on [Am]me.[G][F][E7]
If my children are [Am]playin' outside,
Like little [G]children do,
And you come '[F]round there,
Tryin' to bring them some [E7]harm;
Shame on [Am]you.[G][F][E7]
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/stevie_wonder/so_what_the_fuss_crd.html )
Should I be [Am]drivin' through a Klantown,
Find a restaurant to [G]get me some food,
And someone says;
"Hey [F]boy, we don't serve your [E]kind";
Shame on [Am]them.[G][F][E7]
And if we [Am]live in a democracy,
And you don't use your [G]power to vote,
Knowin' [F]some would like to,
Turn back the hands of [E7]time;
Shame on [Am]us.[G][F][E7]
Chorus 2:
Shame on [Am]me,[G]
Shame on [F]you,[E7]
Shame on [Am]them,[G]
Shame on [F]us.[E7]
Shame on [Am]me,
Shame on [G]you,
Shame on [F]them,
Shame on [E7]us;
So what the [Am]fuss?[G][F][E7]
Verse 3:
If I'm hooked on a [Am]habit,
Knowin' damn well,
It could [G]cost me my life,
Yet I [F]keep doin,
What I should [E7]do without;
Shame on [Am]me.[G][F][E7]
If you're locked in a [Am]marriage,
And your other half,
Just [G]gives you abuse,
Yet you've con-[F]vinced yourself,
That there's no way [E7]out;
Shame on [Am]you.[G][F][E7]
If we're jammin' the [Am]music,
And somebody's go the au-[G]dacity,
To say that [F]they can,
Jam it better than [E7]us;
Shame on [Am]them.[G][F][E7]
And should there be just a [Am]handful,
That believe that we are [G]totally free,
And there's [F]no need,
To fight for e-[E7]quality;
Shame on [Am]them.[G][F][E7]
Chorus 3:
Shame on [Am]me,[G]
Shame on [F]you,[E7]
Shame on [Am]them,[G]
Shame on [F]us.[E7]
Shame on [Am]me,
Shame on [G]you,
Shame on [F]them,
Shame on [E7]us;
So what the [Am]fuss?[G][F][E7]
(Repeat to Fade)
