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
