verse 1
A G A
I blame this new tattoo on a hundred proof bottle of whiskey
D D7 A
And the scar on my cheek to an '84 Jeep and an oak tree
A C
Blame the cussin' on my Daddy, good looks on my Mama
D G
But as for my honky-tonk ways
A
I blame it on Waylon
G
And all them other outlaws
D
Blame it on the back beat
A
Blame it on them sad songs
A G
If I got a don't care attitude and long hair
D
And mean every damn word I'm singin'
A
I blame it on Waylon
