1. I tell you I didn't do it
          Em F  F#  G
   'Cause I  wasn't there

    Don't blame me, it just isn't fair

2.  It wasn't me either, I'm just his mate

    They'll tell you I'm straight, at least I think so
   A       C#7           F#m
    I'm as honest as the day is long,
   A               C#7           F#m
    The longer the daylight, the less I do wrong
