_ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F]
Once [Gm] upon a time [F] I [Gm] had a little money
[Fm] Government [Bb] burglars took it long
[F] Before I could bail it to ya
But you [Bb] are the only [Eb] one
[Bb] I can't let it slip [F] away
[Bb] _ [F] A _ [B] _ [C] _ man with a ticket table
Tries [B] to [C] take it
But this is what I'm gonna say
[Dm] Blame it on kings _
[C] _ [Dm] Don't blame it [F] on me _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _
It's nobody's fault

_ _ Please [Bb] _ _ don't blame [F] it on me
It's [Bb] nobody's fault _
[C] _ _ _ [Bb] But it just seems to [F] be his turn _ _ _ _
Well, if [Bb] I was a saint
[C] With [F] a silver [Bb]
[F] cup
And the [Bb] money got low
[F] We'd get always heated up or [Bb] traded in
Then the radio to heaven
[F] Will be [Bb] wired to your [F] purse
_ [B]
[C] Can't run down the [Bm] wave [C] band
Coast to coast, [B] hand in [C] hand
Act or worse, [B] curse [C] for curse

[Bb] dissatisfied
_ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ So [C] you're not _ [F] satisfied
[D] Well, blame it on [Dm] kings
_ _ _ Don't [F] blame it on me

_ _ _ [F] Please [Bb] _ don't blame it [F] on me
It's [Bb] _
nobody's fault

[F] On the [Bb] outskirts of town
I [F] think I'm going [Bb] insane
[F] From talking to myself for [Bb] so long
[Eb]
[Bb] Oh, but I've never been [F] accused
[Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ [C] _ Open the step upon your [B] face
[C] And wear that [B] good luck grin
I [C] got a break at [B] one weekend
[C] If I do [B] somebody in
[C] But every [B] single time
[C] I feel a little stronger
[Bb] A voice says it's a crime
But [C] how much _ longer?
