Verse 1:

(Am)        G        B7
 I tell you I didn't do it,
     Em F   F#  G
'Cos I  was-n?t there.
G            B7
 Don't blame me;
   Em   F  F#  G
It just is-n't fair.

A              C#7
 You listen to their side,
    F#m
Now listen to mine.
A                 C#7
 Can't think of a story,
            F#m
Sure you'll find me sometime.

Chorus 1:

Em            G
 Now pass the blame,
                Bm/F#
And don't blame me.
Dm               F/C
 Just close your eyes,
             Am/E
And count to three.
(One two three).

 Then I'll be gone,

 The broken window, T.V set.

Verse 2:

C             B7
 It wasn't me either,
    Am
I'm just his mate.
C              B7
 He told me to stand here,
    Am
And watch the gate.

G           B7
 I've got a wife,
          Em    F
And three kids,
F#   G
 You know?
G
 They'll tell you,
B7
 I'm straight,
   Em    F F#    G
At least I think so.

A       C#7
 I'm as honest,
       F#m
As the day is long,
A               C#7
 The longer the daylight,
    F#m
The less I do wrong.

 Now pass the blame,
                Bm/F#
And don't blame me.

 Just close your eyes,
             Am/E
And count to three.
(One two three).

Cm            Eb
 Then I'll be gone,
               Gm
And you'll for-get;

 The broken window, T.V set.
