Transposer:

Blame It On Cain (acoustic version) - Elvis Costello Capo on 3 From the bonus tracks on My Aim Is True. it jangle a little. You can clearly hear it in the original recording. This tab is pretty close to correct. I’m sure there’s some little jangles I didn’t catch. I love this song. Enjoy. [Intro] [Verse] Once upon a time I had a little money Government burglars took it long before I could mail it to you But you are the only one Now I can’t let it slip away So if the man with the ticker tape tries to take it well this is what I’m gonna say [Chorus] Blame it on Cain Don’t blame it on me G A A7sus4 It’s nobody’s fault But we need somebody to burn Blame it on Cain Please don’t blame it on me G A A7sus4 It’s nobody’s fault But it just seems to be his turn [Verse] Oh well if I was a saint with a silver cup and the money got low we could always heat it up or trade it in But then the radio that heaven will be wired to your purse. then you can run down the wave band coast to coast hand in hand. Bad to worse curse for curse don’t be dissatisfied. A7sus4 D So you’re not satisfied. [Chorus] Blame it on Cain Don’t blame it on me G A A7sus4 It’s nobody’s fault But we need somebody to burn Blame it on Cain Please don’t blame it on me G A A7sus4 It’s nobody’s fault But it just seems to be his turn [Verse] I think I’ve lived a little too long on the outskirts of town I think I’m going insane from talking to myself for so long Oh but I’ve never been accused But when they step upon your face They wear that good look grin. I gotta break out one weekend Before I do somebody in. But every single time I feel a little stronger A voice says it’s a crime A7sus4 But how much longer? [Chorus] Blame it on Cain Don’t blame it on me G A A7sus4 It’s nobody’s fault But we need somebody to burn Blame it on Cain G D Dsus2 Please don’t blame it on me G A A7sus4 It’s nobody’s fault But it just seems to be his turn

La chanson aborde le thème de la responsabilité et de la culpabilité, tout en faisant allusion à des forces extérieures qui semblent toujours vouloir nous prendre ce que nous avons. Le protagoniste évoque un passé où il avait un peu d'argent, mais qui a été volé avant qu'il puisse en profiter, insinuant que la vie peut être injuste. Il cherche à se défausser de la responsabilité, préférant incriminer un certain Cain, symbole de l’infortune et de la trahison. Le contexte derrière cette œuvre semble refléter une lutte personnelle face à des injustices et à la recherche d'un coupable dans un monde où chacun endosse parfois trop de poids sur ses épaules. À travers des métaphores comme les "radio de ciel" ou les "voix intérieure", le chanteur exprime son désespoir et son besoin d’évasion, tout en dénonçant une société qui se complaît à montrer du doigt les plus vulnérables.
