Blame it on your Heart
by Harlan Howard & Kostas
transcribed by E. Gatley
I pulled this from the movie "Thing called Love", but after searching
around, apparently Patti Loveless and others do the song. In the movie, at
about 55 minutes in, River Phoenix and Samantha Mathis do the song in Db.
At the end of the movie, Deborah Allen does the song in Ab. I wrote it out
in A, simply because it's better for my voice and it can be played mostly
in the open position. Use a Chuck Berry - type driving rhythm.

A
You got a thing or two to learn about me baby
E
'Cause I ain't taking it no more and I don't mean maybe
You don't know right from wrong
The love we had is gone
So blame it on your lying cheating cold deadbeating
A
two timing double dealing mean mistreating loving heart
Well all I wanted was to be your one and only
But all I ever got from you was being lonely
Now that is laid to rest
'Cause you have failed the test
Hey blame it on your lying cheating cold deadbeating
two timing double dealing mean mistreating loving heart
D
Are you headed for a heartache, oh yeah
A
Gonna get a bad break, oh yeah
D
Made a bad mistake, oh yeah
B E
Well you never gonna find another love like mine
Well someone's gonna do you like you done me honey
And when she does you like she'll do you well it ain't funny
You need some sympathy
But don't be calling me
Hey blame it on your lying cheating cold deadbeating
two timing double dealing mean mistreating loving heart
The Deborah Allen version repeats from:
--> Are you headed for a heartache ...
to the end, then repeats from:
--> You need some sympathy ...
to the end, then repeat that last line to finish it:
--> Hey blame it ...
