Words & Music by Irving Mills & Harry Nemo
Recorded by Harry James, 1939, Beatrice Byrnes vocal


E7      A            Edim         D9             Cdim
When I walk and I'm called, and I don't turn like that,

E7       A       Edim         Am7        Cdim
Should I be introduced, and I sound very flat,

    A      C#m7-5   F#7      D9                       F7   E7
It isn't a grudge I bear -- blame it on my last af - fair.


      A           Edim               D9       Cdim
If I passed up my plate, though the dish is delish,

E7      A         Edim       Am7           Cdim
If I'm handed the bone and I don't care to wish,

    A       C#m7-5   F#7      D9     Bm7-5  Edim E7/6   A   G7
It isn't the bill of fare -- blame it on my last  af - fair.


Bridge:

C         Am7     Dm7           G7
It hurt me so, and oh, I don't know 

Edim     F       C7        F7/6
 If I'll ev - er live it through;

 A        C#m7-5    Gdim          F#7
There's no ex - cuse for this a - buse

E             Edim      E7
Com - ing from one like you.


E7    A              Edim          D9              Cdim
If my eyes fill with tears at the least love words said,

E7     A              Edim          D9        Cdim
If I'm walk - ing the park when I should be in bed,

      A        C#m7-5   F#7      D9    Bm7-5  Edim E7/6   A
It's not that I need the air -- blame it on my last af - fair.
