Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Ok, so this version of Blame It On Cain is at the end of my copy of My Aim Is True. I been able to find any tabs of it online so here we are.
Elvis Costello plays this version on a single acoustic guitar with a capo on the 3rd The chord names that I wrote above the lyrics are the chord names WITHOUT a capo, so with capo on the 3rd fret, just form those regular chords.
The lyrics for this version are also a little different than the full-band version of It On Cain. Hope someone finds this useful.
DGDG Once upon a time, I had a little money DG Government burglars took it long D before I could mail it to you BCB But you are the only one DGD Now I can't let it slip away AbAAbA So if the man with the ticker tape AbA tries to take it D well this is what I'm gonna say
Bm Blame it on Cain DD7 Don't blame it on me GA It's nobody's fault GD But we need somebody to burn Bm Blame it on Cain GD Please don't blame it on me GA It's nobody's fault GD But it just seems to be his turn
DG Oh well if I was a saint with DG a silver cup DG and the money got low D we could always heat it up B or trade it in CBD D But then the radio that heaven will be wired to your purse. AbAAb then you can run down the wave band, AAb coast to coast, hand in hand. AAbA Bad to worse, curse for curse, GCG don't be dissatisfied. AD So you're not satisfied.
Bm Blame it on Cain DD7 Don't blame it on me GA It's nobody's fault GD But we need somebody to burn Bm Blame it on Cain GD Please don't blame it on me GA It's nobody's fault GD But it just seems to be his turn
DG I think I've lived a little too long DG on the outskirts of town DG I think I'm going insane DBCB from talking to myself for so long DGD Oh, but I've never been accused AbAAb But when they step upon your face, A They wear that good look grin. AbAAb I gotta break out one weekend AAb Before I do somebody in. AAb But every single time A I feel a little stronger, B A voice says it's a crime A But how much longer?
Bm Blame it on Cain DD7 Don't blame it on me GA It's nobody's fault GD But we need somebody to burn Bm Blame it on Cain GD Please don't blame it on me GA It's nobody's fault GD But it just seems to be his turn
