Blame It on Me

by the Barenaked Ladies

 

The second master transcription by The Dins.  Overall, this is a great
ditty,

even though it can be considered the stereotypical and simple 3-chord
song.

I would recommend listening very carefully to the finger-picking patterns
and

strumming rhythms before learning this one based on the below tabs and

chords progressions.

 

I am absolutely certain that these chords and notes are right on, so
don't

worry about its accuracy.

 

Also, thanks again Atara.  BNL's rule.
