Dont Blame Me

Am        Dm7              Am       G7
  Hear my story and listen well
Am         Dm7           Am      G7
  Truth is in all that I tell
Am         Dm7             Am       G7
  It could never have been me
Am          Dm7        Am           G7
  I did not shoot no deputy

Am    Dm7          Am    G7
  Mr. Grant, the deputy
Am         Dm7         Am    G7
  Friend to my whole family
Am          Dm7              Am      G7
  He always tell me when John Brown
Am            Dm7              Am
  Was getting ready to come around


[Chorus]
Dm7    Em7    Am
  Dont blame me
Dm7    Em7    Am
  Dont blame me


[Verse 2]
Am         Dm7               Am         G7
  I hide it all except a few seeds
Am              Dm7               Am    G7
  And make him think I plant for me
Am         Dm7                      Am           G7
  When Mr. Grant and I know all the while
Am            Dm7                    Am            G7
  We have got enough for the whole island

Am       Dm7                    Am          G7
  Three years now we sell it in town
Am          Dm7               Am         G7
  Under the bucket that goes down
Am       Dm7            Am          G7
  No one knew of it but three
Am            Dm7      Am     G7
  Mr. Grant, Davis and me


[Chorus]
Dm7    Em7    Am
  Dont blame me
Dm7    Em7    Am
  Dont blame me


[Bridge]
Am  Dm7  Am  G7


[Verse 3]
Am           Dm7          Am      G7
  I swear by God, it is a plot
Am       Dm7           Am     G7
  Davis sent me here to rot
Am       Dm7               Am        G7
  Listen people, can't you see
Am     Dm7           Am        G7
  Mr. Davis shot the deputy


[Chorus]
Dm7    Em7    Am
  Dont blame me
Dm7    Em7    Am
  Dont blame me
Dm7    Em7    Am
  Dont blame me
Dm7    Em7    Am
  Dont blame me
