Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Don't blame your daughter

 that's just sentimental

 and don't blame your mom

 for all that you've done wrong

 Your dad is not guilty

 you came out a little faulty

 and the factory closed

 so you can't hold them liable

 You come from an island,

 you're cutting diamonds

with a rubbery knife

Your autograph is worthless

 so don't send me letters

 and don't mail me cash

 'cause your money is no good

 What's left in your matress

 is holes and lack of love left

 some hair from a horse,

 and none of it is yours, man

 You come from an island,

 you're cutting diamonds

 with a rubbery knife

 And the song you sing today

 wasn't always in your head,

 the words you tryin' to say

 are the ones you shouldn't have said

 they're glistenin' like diamonds,

go out and find' em

 but don't blame your daughter

Read me your tombstone,

 tell me you're sorry, fax me your will,

 you owe me something still

 Blood is like water

 the bath that you poured me

 has drained and it's gone,

 don't blame it on your son

 And the song you sing today

 wasn't always in your head,

 the words you tryin' to say

 are the ones you shouldn't have said

 they're glistening like diamonds,

go out and find'em

 The world is full of diamonds

go out and find'em

 but don't blame your daughter
