Lyrics

She took down the pho to graph of our wed ding day, put ripped it down the mid dle and threw e my half a way.

And I got no bod y to blame

but (D)me.

I got no bod y to blame

but (D5)me.

She broke all my fish in’ rods, put my guns in hock,

threw my clothes out in the yard and changed out all the locks.

And I got no bod y to blame

but (D5)me.

I got no bod y to blame

but (D5)me.

I know right where I went wrong.

I know just what got her gone.

Turned my life in to this coun try (G)song, and I got no bod y to blame

but me.

I got no bod y to blame

but (D5)me.

She (D)me,

(G7)no bod y to blame

but (D5)me.

I got no bod y to blame

but (D5)me.
