Lyrics

You made

me cry

when you said

good bye.

Ain’t that a shame?

My tears fell like (Bb)rain.

Ain’t that a shame?

You’re the one to blame.

You broke

my heart

when you said

we’ll part.

Ain’t that a shame?

My tears fell like (Bb)rain.

Ain’t that a shame?

You’re the one to blame.

Oh, well,

good bye.

Al though

I’ll cry.

Ain’t that a shame?

My tears fell like (Bb)rain.

Ain’t that a shame?

You’re the one to blame.

My tears fell like (Bb)rain.

Ain’t that a shame?

You’re the one to blame.

made

me cry

good bye.

Ain’t that a shame?

My tears fell like (Bb)rain.

Ain’t that a shame?

You’re the one to blame.

Oh, well,

good bye.

Al though

I’ll cry.

Ain’t that a shame?

My tears fell like (Bb)rain.

Ain’t that a shame?

You’re the one to blame.

You’re the one to blame.

About “Ain't That A Shame”

Why does the accompaniment for "Ain't That A Shame" show falling notes?

What key is the piano accompaniment for "Ain't That A Shame" by Fats Domino in?
The backing track is in Eb at 120 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.

Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.

Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Ain't That A Shame", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
