It's A Shame
Third Day
Wire Album
sparrow records
This has always been a great song to hear and definitely to play, I will never
forget hearing this song live, I was front stage, right underneath where Mark
usually stands, Looking at Mac while he sang this song and crying at the same
time. A real tear jerker this one is if you take the time to read the lyrics.
The guys really are heartfelt when is comes to abuse, divorce, poverty,etc..
Some real Jesus qualities , God has really blessed Third Day, and I definitely
thank God for this band. Praise God in all you do....
Guitar 1: Capo on 9th fret
