"Don't Blame It On Me"

(D. Addrisi - D. Addrisi)

The B-side of "Cherish", also recorded around the same time by the Vogues as

"Don't Blame The Rain" (B-side of "Please Mr. Sun"). I transcribed it in G

even though it's about 3/4 tone sharp and sounds almost in A-flat.

Intro [2X]:

bass, doubled w/bells:

G Gsus4 G Gsus4

v v v v v v v v

Verse 1:

G Gsus4 G Gsus4

Go blame the rain for your cloudburst of teardrops

G Gsus4 G C

Blame the wind, say how lonely and cold it can be

Cm D7 G

You asked to be free

Cm

Don't blame it on me

Verse 2:

Go blame the night for the darkness descending

Blame the wind, say it laughs at you now that you're free

That's how you want it to be

Don't blame it on me

Chorus:

G C/G

Now your life is empty

D7/G G

And only tears remain

G C/G

Your high hopes turned to heartache

C D7sus4 D7

Your freedom turned to chains

[repeat verse 1]

[repeat chorus]

Verse 3:

Go blame rain and the wind and the darkness

Blame the world for the way things have turned out to be

Blame whatever you please

Cm

But don't...

D7 G

Don't blame it on me

Coda [repeat to fade]:

Cm D7 G

Don't blame it on me

-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
