B
She drank my money then she blew me out
A                            B
When I was mad for her she blew me out
B
She's in the club and she's accusing me
A                        B
Of all the men she is accusing me

Oh, I didn't do it, I did not do it
She never let me get round to it
I didn't do it, I did not do it
We never even got down to it

Chorus:
          D                    A
It's the name of the game for me
     D                    A
It's always the same for me
 D               A            D
Takin' the time fine to free me
                               A
It's the name of the game for me
      D              A
Can Trinity set me free?
        D
'Cause taking the blame
        G           A        D
Is the name of the game for me

Somebody pour another glass of champagne
Before they come to t-t-take me away
The F.B.I. and C.I.A. they say
I shot the sheriff and I shot him today

Oh, but I didn't do it, I did not do it
They know they're making too much of it
I didn't do it, I did not do it
I didn't even do the deputy in

Chorus

Here comes the judge outside a bottle of gin
He ain't too happy with the way that I've been
They locked me down, down in a hole in the ground
And then they swallowed ev'ry key in the town

Oh, I didn't do it, I did not do it
I think they're making too much of it
I didn't do it, I did not do it
I say they're making too much of it
