As recorded by Status Quo (From the 1980 Album JUST SUPPOSIN') [Intro] D A D A D A G D N.C. B5 [Verse 1]
B5
She drank my money then she blew me out

A5                         B5
When I was mad for her she blew me out

B5
She's in the club and she's accusing me

A5                      B5
Of all the men she is accusing me
[Pre-Chorus]
B5
Oh, I didn't do it, I did not do it

A5                         B5
She never let me get round to it

B5
I didn't do it, I did not do it

A5                     B5
We never even got down to it
[Chorus]
         D5                    A5
It's the name of the game for me

     D5                   A5
It's always the same for me

D5              A5      D5
Takin' the time fine to free me

                               A5
It's the name of the game for me

    D5              A5
Can Trinity set me free ?

       D5
'Cause taking the blame

       G5          A5       D5   B5
Is the name of the game for me
[Verse 2]
B5
Somebody pour another glass of champagne

A5                      B5
Before they come to t-t-take me away

B5
The F.B.I. and C.I.A. they say

A5                       B5
I shot the sheriff and I shot him today
[Pre-Chorus]
B5
Oh, but I didn't do it, I did not do it

A5                                B5
They know they're making too much of it

B5
I didn't do it, I did not do it

A5                   B5
I didn't even do the deputy in
[Chorus]
         D5                    A5
It's the name of the game for me

     D5                   A5
It's always the same for me

         D5               A5  G5      D5 N.C.
It's the name of the game I dream for me

B5
Here comes the judge outside a bottle of gin

A5                          B5
He ain't too happy with the way that I've been

B5
They locked me down, down in a hole in the ground

A5                            B5
And then they swallowed ev'ry key in the town
[Pre-Chorus]
B5
Oh, I didn't do it, I did not do it

A5                              B5
I think they're making too much of it

B5
I didn't do it, I did not do it

A5                            B5
I say they're making too much of it
[Chorus]
         D5                    A5
It's the name of the game for me

     D5                   A5
It's always the same for me

D5              A5      D5
Takin' the time fine to free me

                               A5
It's the name of the game for me

    D5              A5
Can Trinity set me free ?

       D5
'Cause taking the blame

       G5           A5       D5
Is the name of the game for me

D5
They know it's a shame

     G5      A5        D5
They never explain, oh taking the blame

       G5           A5      D5
Is the name of the game for me

I didn't do it, I did not do it
