Intro: C F

Am                   F
Don't blame your daughter
               C
that's just sentimental
                      G
and don't blame your mom
                           Am
for all that you've done wrong
                  F
Your dad is not guilty
                        C
you came out a little faulty
                   G
and the factory closed

                         Dm
so you can't hold them liable
      F         C
You come from an island,
       G      Dm
you're cutting diamonds
F             C
with a rubbery knife


Am                    F
Your autograph is worthless
                  C
so don't send me letters
                   G
and don't mail me cash
                          Am
'cause your money is no good
                      F
What's left in your matress
                        C
is holes and lack of love left
                   G
some hair from a horse,

                     Dm
and none of it is yours, man
     F           C
You come from an island,
       G      Dm
you're cutting diamonds
       F      C
with a rubbery knife


        F       C      G
And the song you sing today

       C             F
wasn't always in your head,
     F          C       G
the words you tryin' to say
        C                      F
are the ones you shouldn't have said
        Dm              Am
they're glistenin' like diamonds,
Dm          Am
go out and find' em
    F           C       Dm      F
but don't blame your daughter

Am F


Am                 F
   Read me your tombstone,
                C                 G
tell me you're sorry, fax me your will,
                      Am
you owe me something still
               F
Blood is like water
                  C
the bath that you poured me
                      G
has drained and it's gone,
                       C
don't blame it on your son


        F       C      G
And the song you sing today
       C             F
wasn't always in your head,
     F       C          G
the words you tryin' to say
        C                     F
are the ones you shouldn't have said
        Dm              Am
they're glistening like diamonds,
Dm         Am
go out and find'em

    Dm               Am
The world is full of diamonds
Dm         Am
go out and find'em
        F       C    Dm   F
but don't blame your daughter
