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

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...

Don`t blame it on me
Coda [repeat to fade]:

Don`t blame it on me
