Tabs
Blame It on Me
by the Barenaked Ladies
The second master transcription by The Dins. Overall, this is a great
ditty,
even though it can be considered the stereotypical and simple 3-chord
song.
I would recommend listening very carefully to the finger-picking patterns
and
strumming rhythms before learning this one based on the below tabs and
chords progressions.
I am absolutely certain that these chords and notes are right on, so
don't
worry about its accuracy.
Also, thanks again Atara. BNL's rule.
