*from 'Seven' (1981)*


Intro:

C  E  Am, C  Am

Verse 1:

           G        B7          Em F   F#  G
I tell you I didn't do it, 'cos I  was-n't there.
G            B7     Em   F  F#  G
 Don't blame me; it just is-n't fair.
A              C#7             F#m
 You listen to their side, now listen to mine
A                 C#7                F#m
 Can't think of a story; sure you'll find me sometime.

Chorus 1:

Em            G                      Bm/F#
 Now pass the blame, and don't blame me.
Dm               F/C                Am/E
 Just close your eyes, and count to three. (One, two, three).
Cm            Eb                   Gm
 Then I'll be gone, and you'll for-get;
Bbm         C#          Em
 The broken window, T.V set.

Verse 2:

C             B7          Am
 It wasn't me either; I'm just his mate.
C              B7             Am
 He told me to stand here and watch the gate.
G           B7              Em   F  F#  G
 I've got a wife, and three kids,   you know?
G                 B7               Em    F F#    G
 They'll tell you I'm straight; at least I think so.
A       C#7            F#m
 I'm as honest, as the day is long;
A               C#7           F#m
 The longer the daylight; the less I do wrong.

Chorus 2:

Em            G                      Bm/F#
 Now pass the blame, and don't blame me.
Dm               F/C                Am/E
 Just close your eyes, and count to three. (One, two, three).
Cm            Eb                   Gm
 Then I'll be gone, and you'll for-get;
Bbm         C#          Em
 The broken window, T.V set.

 Just close your eyes, and count to three. (One, two, three).
Cm            Eb                   Gm
 Then I'll be gone, and you'll for-get;

 The broken window, T.V set.
