[G] [C] [G]
[C] [G]
Once [Eb] upon a time I had a [F] little money
Government burglars took [N] it long
Before I could fail it to you still
You are the only one
[C] That I can't let slip [G] away
So [C]
[D] if a man with a thick a dick
And tried to take it
This is what [G] I'm gonna say
Blame it on Jim
Don't blame it on me
The world
[C] is [D] nobody's fault
But [C] when need [Am] some fight [G] of the bird
For if I was a saint with a silver [Cm] cup
[G] And the money [Am] got low
[G] You'd always [D] eat [C] it up and breathe it in
Then the [Cm] radio that [Dm] heaven [G] will do
I'd do [Am] your [G] purse
[E] You [D] can run down a way back
Hand in hand
That's the worst purse for curse
Don't be [C] dissatisfied
So [D] you're not [G]
satisfied
[Em] Blame it on Jim
Don't blame [G] it on [Dm]
me
[C] The world is [D] nobody's fault
[C] But when need some [G] fight of the bird
[C] [Gm] [G]
[D] [Am] [G]
Think I lived a little too [F] long
[G] On the outskirts [C] of town
[G] I think I'm going [Am] insane
[G] I'm talking to [C] myself for so [Bb] long
[C] But I never [G] really [C] queued
[G] [Dm]
[D] When they step upon your face
With that good looking grin
I gotta freak out one week
And find who's somebody in
For every single time
I feel a little [C] stronger
They tell me it's a crime
[D] Well how much longer
Blame [Em] it on Jim
Don't blame [G] it on me
The world [Ebm] [C] is [D] nobody's fault
But [C] when need some [G] fight of the bird
Blame it on Jim
Oh, [C] please don't blame it [G] on me
It's [C] nobody's fault
[D] But [C] it just seems to be [B] his turn
