Biography:
Shannon and the Clams is an American indie garage punk quartet based in Oakland, California. Known for a vintage sound that incorporates elements of doo-wop, classic R&B, garage psych, and surf, the band has drawn comparisons to both Buddy Holly and 1960s girl groups.
Like a Beach Rock revival, Shannon and the Clams take you back to a time when Judy and Johnny were your favorite worst couple, with the help of some very heartbreaking background vocals and guitar riffs of which The Beatles would be proud.

I was a
C E
fool to take your heart
F G
I was a fool to want more than a part
C E
I was a fool to be led on
F G
I should have known when I sang you my song
(Palm Muted)
C E
And I was a fool when I tripped on your crown
F G
(You ran) into the woods, I hunted you down
C D7
I was a foo-ool oo-oo-ooo-ool on my own
G F# G D7
Sticky with blood now, in my mountain home
[Play Intro]
C E
I was a fool when I carried your corpse
F G
Wet with my tears now, placed upon my horse
C E
I was fool without any course
F G
If I couldn't love you, I'd take something of yours
(Palm Muted)
C E
I was a fool when I took out my knives
F G
I did as the queen asked, but I kept the prize
C D7
I was a foo-ool oo-oo-ooo-ool on my own
G F# G D7
Sticky with blood now, in my mountain home

C E
I was a fool for 40 years
F G
I hid in my home and was haunted with fear
C E
Each little shadow or deer in the woods
F G
Made my poor heart race as fast as it could
(Palm Muted)
C E
I took out your heart when things got hard
F G
The country got quiet so I let down my guard
C E
But the queen had a witch who had sent her through time
F G
She came in the night and she took out my eyes
C D7
I was a foo-ool oo-oo-ooo-ool on my own
G F# G D7
Sticky with blood now, in my mountain home
