Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

G two measures

 Sit down, Mary, they don't know what they're talking about

Sit down, Mary, it's only make believe

Sit down, Mary, don't say those things you're screaming out

 It was me, it was me

 It was me they saw in the liquor store that night

 And it was me with the gun on that cashier

 When it went off it was me that took flight

 It was my getaway car they saw disappear

Chorus

 Blame me if a crime's been done

 If they need a reason I'm the one

 Blame me

 Yes sir, I left my wife Mary and her kids

 Yes sir, I was a touch out of control

 I drugged and drank and gambled, well yes sir, I did

 'Til there wasn't any money to send home

(chorus)

Bridge

 What's that you say sir, there were witnesses

Standing in the shadows that night

 And that hold up man running from the liquor store

 They say she looked exactly like my wife

Sit down, Mary, they don't know what they're talking about

Sit down, Mary, it's only make believe

Sit down, Mary, don't say those things you're screaming out

 It was me, it was me, it was me,

(Chorus)

Blame me
