"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:
