Capo 2
Drop D tuning
[Verse 1]
DShe took down the photograph of our wedding day
DRipped it down the middle and threw my half away
And I got Gnobody to blame but Dme
I got Gnobody to blame but Dme
DShe broke all my fishing rods, put my guns in hock
DThrew my clothes out in the yard and changed out all the locks
And I got Gnobody to blame but mDe
I got nGobody to blame but Dme
[Chorus]
DI know right where I went wrong
GI know just what got her Dgone
DTurned my life into this country Gsong
GAnd I got nobody to blame but Dme
I got Gnobody to blame but Dme
[Verse 2]
DShe fired up my old hot rod, ran it in the pond
DPut sugar in my John Deere, I can't even mow my lawn
And I got Gnobody to blame but Dme
I got Gnobody to blame but Dme
DShe built her a bonfire with my old six string
DTook all my good whiskey and poured it down the drain
And I got Gnobody to blame but Dme
I got Gnobody to blame but Dme
[Chorus]
DI know right where I went wrong
GI know just what got her Dgone
DTurned my life into this country Gsong
GAnd I got nobody to blame but Dme
I got Gnobody to blame but Dme
GNobody to blame but Dme
I got Gnobody to blame but Dme
