E B/D# F#m A Once when our mother called, E B/D# F#m A She had a voice of last year's cough. E B/D# F#m A We passed around the phone, E B/D# F#m A Sharing a word about Oregon. E B/D# F#m A When my turn came, I was ashamed. E B/D# F#m A When my turn came, I was ashamed. Once when we moved away She came to Romulus for a day Her Chevrolet broke down We prayed it'd never be fixed or be found We touched her hair, we touched her hair We touched her hair, we touched her hair When she had her last child Once when she had some boyfriends, some wild She moved away quite far Our grandpa bought us a new VCR We watched it all night, we grew up in spite of it We watched it all night, we grew up in spite of it We saw her once last fall Our grandpa died in a hospital gown She didn't seem to care She smoked in her room and colored her hair I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  B  D#  E  F#m  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
