Intro:

    ,   

Verse 1:

                                   
I tell you I didn't do it, 'cos I  was-n't there.
                        
 Don't blame me; it just is-n't fair.
                           
 You listen to their side, now listen to mine
                                 
 Can't think of a story; sure you'll find me sometime.

Chorus 1:

                                  
 Now pass the blame, and don't blame me.
                               
 Just close your eyes, and count to three. (One, two, three).
                               
 Then I'll be gone, and you'll for-get;
                   
 The broken window, T.V set.

Verse 2:

                       
 It wasn't me either; I'm just his mate.
                           
 He told me to stand here and watch the gate.
                                
 I've got a wife, and three kids,   you know?
                                         
 They'll tell you I'm straight; at least I think so.
                   
 I'm as honest, as the day is long;
                          
 The longer the daylight; the less I do wrong.

Chorus 2:

                                  
 Now pass the blame, and don't blame me.
                               
 Just close your eyes, and count to three. (One, two, three).
                               
 Then I'll be gone, and you'll for-get;
                   
 The broken window, T.V set.

Chorus 4:

                                  
 Now pass the blame, and don't blame me.
                               
 Just close your eyes, and count to three. (One, two, three).
                               
 Then I'll be gone, and you'll for-get;
                   
 The broken window, T.V set.
