Intro: G two measures
 G                        C                          G
Sit down, Mary, they don't know what they're talking about
G                      C           G
Sit down, Mary, it's only make believe
G                        C                          G
Sit down, Mary, don't say those things you're screaming out
         G           D
It was me, it was me
         G                    C                  G
It was me they saw in the liquor store that night
             G             C             G
And it was me with the gun on that cashier
          G/B              C              G
When it went off it was me that took flight
         G                                D
It was my getaway car they saw disappear

Chorus:
        Em                    G
Blame me if a crime's been done
                  Am              C
If they need a reason I'm the one 
        G
Blame me

      G              C           G
Yes sir, I left my wife Mary and her kids
     G             C                 G
Yes sir, I was a touch out of control
   G/B                      G                   G
I drugged and drank and gambled, well yes sir, I did
            G                            D
'Til there wasn't any money to send home



(chorus)

bridge: Am C G

         G                 C              G
What's that you say sir, there were witnesses
G                 C              G
Standing in the shadows that night
            G/B          C                  G
And that hold up man running from the liquor store 
       G                                 D
They say she looked exactly like my wife

F                                                    G
Sit down, Mary, they don't know what they're talking about
F                                  G
Sit down, Mary, it's only make believe
F                                                    G 
Sit down, Mary, don't say those things you're screaming out
                                  D
It was me, it was me, it was me,

(Chorus)

D   C              G
     Blame me
