*from 'Seven' (1981)*


Intro:

C  E  Am (x2)

Verse 1:

           G        B7          Em
I tell you I didn't do it, 'cos I wasn't there.
G            B7     Em
 Don't blame me; it just isn'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                      B
 Now pass the blame, and don't blame me.
Dm               F                Am
 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#          Fm
 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
 I've got a wife, and three kids, you know?
G                 B7               Em
 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                      B
 Now pass the blame, and don't blame me.
Dm               F                Am
 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#          Fm
 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 I'll for-get;
Bbm            C#               Fm
 That what you give is what you get.

Chorus 5:

Em        G                      B
 Pass the blame, and don't blame me.
