Blame It On Cain (acoustic version) - Elvis Costello Capo on 3 From the bonus tracks on My Aim Is True. it jangle a little. You can clearly hear it in the original recording. This tab is pretty close to correct. I’m sure there’s some little jangles I didn’t catch. I love this song. Enjoy. [Intro] [Verse] Once upon a time I had a little money Government burglars took it long before I could mail it to you But you are the only one Now I can’t let it slip away So if the man with the ticker tape tries to take it well this is what I’m gonna say [Chorus] Blame it on Cain Don’t blame it on me It’s nobody’s fault But we need somebody to burn Blame it on Cain Please don’t blame it on me It’s nobody’s fault But it just seems to be his turn [Verse] Oh well if I was a saint with a silver cup and the money got low we could always heat it up or trade it in But then the radio that heaven will be wired to your purse. then you can run down the wave band coast to coast hand in hand. Bad to worse curse for curse don’t be dissatisfied. So you’re not satisfied. [Chorus] Blame it on Cain Don’t blame it on me It’s nobody’s fault But we need somebody to burn Blame it on Cain Please don’t blame it on me It’s nobody’s fault But it just seems to be his turn [Verse] I think I’ve lived a little too long on the outskirts of town I think I’m going insane from talking to myself for so long Oh but I’ve never been accused But when they step upon your face They wear that good look grin. I gotta break out one weekend Before I do somebody in. But every single time I feel a little stronger A voice says it’s a crime But how much longer? [Chorus] Blame it on Cain Don’t blame it on me It’s nobody’s fault But we need somebody to burn Blame it on Cain Please don’t blame it on me It’s nobody’s fault But it just seems to be his turn
