++++++++++++
the guitarist uses a pitch-shifter in this song, so if you don't
have one it won't sound exactly right. i've tabbed out the actual
notes, but this pitch-shifting is up to you!

                       ^===========^ <-- this is 'lick'

[verse 1]
  C
Another day with you

             A7
I'm getting fitted for a millstone

C
It would've been better

       C# 
Had I left you alone

       Dm                     F
So if Jesus finds you begging unbelief

        C
Put the blame on me [play lick]

[verse 2]
   C    
I never failed to cry for you

  A7
I never failed to pray

  C
I guess that failed to matter

        C# 
To your blue eyes today

        Dm                       F
As they saw me stealing justice like a thief

                 C
Put the blame on me

[chorus]
      G                      Dm
Don't blame the truth If you love the lie

      Am                  F
Don't blame the deacon's gun

      Em                F             G
Don't blame a preacher, prophet, or a priest

    F
But if it makes it easy

        C
Put the blame on me [play intro]


[verse 3]
     C
If I told you where to look

               A7
But failed to tell you what to find

     C
If I led you down a road

           C#
That had a twisted center line

        Dm            F
Or if I fed your dark sensibility

        C
Put the blame on me


[chorus 2]
      G                       Dm                       
Don't blame your doubt If you fear belief

      Am              F
Don't even blame your pain

      Em             F            G
Don't blame a burden only you can see

    F 
But if it makes it easy

        C
Put the blame on me

Don't even blame your pain

      Em                 F          G
Don't blame a man pinned naked on a tree

         F
Who died perfectly deperate

                       C
Who loves you desperately

A7            C
  No, Put the blame on me

          C
  Put the blame on me

A7        C        C(slide back and forth from B to C) 
  Put the blame on me
