A                             G                  
I blame this new tattoo on a hundred proof bottle of whiskey 
      D                           D7                
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 

Blame it on the back beat 

Blame it on them sad songs 
           A                       G 
If I got a don't care attitude and long hair 

And mean every damn word I'm singin' 
                  
I blame it on Waylon 

A                                G                            
I blame my ramblin' ways on that old freight train I was born on 
D                                      D7                     
And the holes in the soles of these boots on every girl I told so long 
A 
Blame my good luck on the good Lord 
C                                     D                   G 
And bad luck on the devil, but this lonesome in my soul 

                     A 
You know I blame it on Waylon 
                   G 
And all them other outlaws 

Blame it on the back beat 

Blame it on them sad songs 
          A                        G 
If I got a don't care attitude and long hair 

And mean every damn word I'm singin' 

                 A 
I blame it on Waylon 

D    G 

G 
From this old guitar I'm playin' 
E 
To these smoky bar dues I'm payin' 

                     A 
You know I blame it on Waylon 
                    G 
And all them other outlaws 

Blame it on the back beat 

Blame it on them sad songs 
        A                          G 
If I got a don't care attitude and long hair 

And mean every damn word I'm singin' 
                      
I blame it on Waylon 

                   G 
And all them other outlaws 

Blame it on the back beat 

Blame it on them sad songs 
            A                      G 
If I got a don't care attitude and long hair 

And mean every damn word I'm singin' 

I blame it on Waylon, blame it on Waylon
