Shut Up

...SHUT UP... by Madness

*from 'Seven' (1981)*

Intro:

Verse 1:

I tell you I didn't do it, 'cos I wasn't there.

Don't blame me; it just isn't fair.

You listen to their side, now listen to mine

Can't think of a story; sure you'll find me sometime.

Chorus 1:

Now pass the blame, and don't blame me.

Just close your eyes, and count to three. (One, two, three).

Then I'll be gone, and you'll for-get;

The broken window, T.V set.

Verse 2:

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

He told me to stand here and watch the gate.

I've got a wife, and three kids, you know?

They'll tell you I'm straight; at least I think so.

I'm as honest, as the day is long;

The longer the daylight; the less I do wrong.

Chorus 2:

Now pass the blame, and don't blame me.

Just close your eyes, and count to three. (One, two, three).

Then I'll be gone, and you'll for-get;

The broken window, T.V set.

Interlude:

Am G (x2), Am, F C F, C C7

Chorus 3: (Instrumental)

Em G B, Dm F Am,

Chorus 4:

Pass the blame, and don't blame me.

Just close your eyes, and count to three. (One, two, three).

Then I'll be gone, and I'll for-get;

That what you give is what you get.

Chorus 5:

Pass the blame, and don't blame me.

Just close your eyes, and count to three. (One, two, three).

Then I'll be gone, and you'll for-get;

The broken window, T.V set.
