Blame It On My Last Affair
Words & Music by Irving Mills & Harry NemoRecorded 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.
