Version 1
            [Intro]
E  A
[Verse 1]
     A                    E
Everybody says you let me down
         E                      A
I should be ashamed to take you round
         A                           E
Makes no difference what you used to do
        E                           A  A7
Darling I could never be ashamed of you
[Chorus]
      D                       A
Maybe you were reckless yesterday
      B7                            E
But together we can find a brighter way
      A                             E
In my heart I know that you'll come true
        E                           A
Darling I could never be ashamed of you
[Instrumental]
E  A
[Verse 2]
        A                   E
All the happiness I've ever known
         E                        A
Came the day you said you'd be my own
       A                      E
And it matters not what we go through
        E                           A  A7
Darling I could never be ashamed of you
[Chorus]
      D                          A
Maybe you've been cheated in the past
       B7                              E
And perhaps those memories will always last
     A                        E
Even though you prove to be untrue
        E                           A
Darling I could never be ashamed of you
