[Verse 1] 0:10
E            G
Woah, wasn't ready for this
     A                          G
Bout knocked me on my back, how hard it hit
      E
Like, damn
     G
Bust down the door
      A                        G
Ain't ever seen ya out at this bar before
E                G               A
Girl, you got me losing my mi...nd
G          E                 G         A       G
   And I'm buzzing like that cold beer si..gn
 
 
[Chorus] 0:31
E                         G
Blame it on the bartender pouring it strong
A                            G
Blame it on the band playing two-step songs
E                           G
Blame it on the dance floor calling your name
A                       G
Tan legs spinning, just doing your thing
     E
Yeah girl, it's true
    G                       A                   G
I'm stuck on you, like them rhinestones on your boots
    E                      G
The way you move, what's a country boy to do
        A             N.C.
And you can't blame me
               E     G     A
The blame's on you
G                E     G     A     G
  The blame's on you
 
 
[Verse 2] 1:02
E*          G
Hey, let me buy you a drink
A                        G
Whatcha say we ride that tequila train
       E
I said oh
            G
See, you're ready to roll
A                                       A
Out on the dance floor, dropping it low
E                 G       A
Girl, it's almost closing time
    G          E                    G            A                     N.C.
And I bet your lips just taste like salt and li..me (like salt and lime)
 
 
[Chorus] 1:26
E                         G
Blame it on the bartender pouring it strong
A                            G
Blame it on the band playing two-step songs
E                           G
Blame it on the dance floor calling your name
A                       G
Tan legs spinning, just doing your thing
     E
Yeah girl, it's true
    G                       A                   G
I'm stuck on you, like them rhinestones on your boots
    E                      G
The way you move, what's a country boy to do
        A             N.C.
And you can't blame me
               E     G     A
The blame's on you
G                E     G     A     G
  The blame's on you
 
 
[Post-Chorus] 1:56
               E
The blame's on you,
               G
Your hands all over me
A                G
2 am, last call, time to leave
E                          G
Silhouettes tangled in the light of the moon
A                     D
  No, you can't blame me
 
 
[Outro] 2:08
E                         G
Blame it on the bartender pouring it strong
A                            E
Blame it on the band playing two-step songs
E                           G
Blame it on the dance floor calling your name
A                       B
Tan legs spinning, just doing your thing
     E
Yeah girl, it's true
    G                       A                   G
I'm stuck on you, like them rhinestones on your boots
    E                      G
The way you move, what's a country boy to do
        A              G
And you can't blame me
               E     G     A
The blame's on you
G                E     G     A
  The blame's on you
    G          E*
The blame's on you
