B She drank my money then she blew me out A B When I was mad for her she blew me out B She's in the club and she's accusing me A B Of all the men she is accusing me Oh, I didn't do it, I did not do it She never let me get round to it I didn't do it, I did not do it We never even got down to it Chorus: D A It's the name of the game for me D A It's always the same for me D A D Takin' the time fine to free me A It's the name of the game for me D A Can Trinity set me free? D 'Cause taking the blame G A D Is the name of the game for me Somebody pour another glass of champagne Before they come to t-t-take me away The F.B.I. and C.I.A. they say I shot the sheriff and I shot him today Oh, but I didn't do it, I did not do it They know they're making too much of it I didn't do it, I did not do it I didn't even do the deputy in Chorus Here comes the judge outside a bottle of gin He ain't too happy with the way that I've been They locked me down, down in a hole in the ground And then they swallowed ev'ry key in the town Oh, I didn't do it, I did not do it I think they're making too much of it I didn't do it, I did not do it I say they're making too much of it Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  G  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
