Shinedown – What A Shame chords ver. 2

Title: What A Shame
Artist: Shinedown
Album: The Sound Of Madness

Wasn't happy with the other versions out there, so I decided to give it a shot myself. 
This might (or might not) be the way it is played, but it sounds good when played 
along to the record version. 
Feel free to comment if you see (or hear) any mistakes.

Oh, and thanks to 365_days_gone for his (her?) Guitar Pro version that made my work much easier.

Tuned a half-step down

Intro: F#m-F#m-A-E  x2

F#mTwo packs of cigarettes a day
    AThe strongest whiskey
   E                F#mKentucky can make
                         AThat's a recipe to put a vagabond
       E                 F#mOn his hands and knees

I watched it all up close,
                     AI knew him more than most
                E                   F#mI saw a side of him he never showed
                       AFull of sympathy for a world that
         EWouldn't let him be


Bm    That's the man he was,
D             C#    Have you heard enough?


F#m      A             EWhat a shame, what a shame,
                                  F#mTo judge a life that you can't change
           A                       EThe choir sings, the church bells ring
                                 F#mSo, won't you give this man his wings?
         A               EWhat a shame to have to beg you to
                      D    C#See we're not all the same
       F#mWhat a shame

F#m-A-E
F#m-F#m-A-E

          F#mThere's a hard life for every silver spoon
         A                       EThere's a touch of grey for every shade of blue
F#mThat's the way that I see life
             AIf there was nothing wrong,
                EThen there'd be nothing right
F#mAnd for this working man they say could
       ABarely stand
                     E             F#mThere's gotta be a better place to land
                          ASome kind of remedy for a world that
         EWouldn't let him be


Bm   That's the man he was,
D            C#   Have you heard enough?


F#m      A             EWhat a shame, what a shame,
                                  F#mTo judge a life that you can't change
           A                       EThe choir sings, the church bells ring
                                 F#mSo, won't you give this man his wings?
         A               EWhat a shame to have to beg you to
                      D    C# See we're not all the same

        Bm-A <----- The two chords alternate rapidly; What a shame         I prefer playing power   chords

Bridge:

Bbm-Cm-C#-Fm-Eb x2 <-- I also play this riff using power chords. 

Bbm     Cm      C#          Fm      EbGod forgive the hands that laid you down,

They never knew how, 
Bbm      Cm      C#         Fm       EbBut your broken heart can break the sound,

And change the season
C#                                 EbNow the leaves are falling faster, happily ever after
C#                 You gave me hope through your endeavors
    Eb  Fm  F#m  Ab   Bb  Cm C#  <--- You can go above the 12th fret to make And now you will live for-e--ver      it sound exactly like the original     
                                      song, but since I play it on an 
                                      acoustic, I go down for the last 3 
                                      chords.
F#m       A          EWhat a shame, what a shame,
                                 F#mTo judge a life that you can't change
           A                      EThe choir sings, the church bells ring
                                 F#mSo, won't you give this man his wings?
         A               EWhat a shame to have to beg you to
                      F#mSee we're not all the same
         A             EWhat a shame, what a shame
                         F#m'Cause we're not all the same
         A             EWhat a shame, what a shame
                         F#m'Cause we're not all the same
