You can't hold us to blame A D7 What could we do? G It was a terrible shame, C But we can't bear the blame. G C D7 G Oh no, not us, we didn't know. [Verse] G C "We didn't know", said the burgermeister, G D7 G "About those camps on the edge of town. C It was Hitler and his crew, G D7 G That tore the German nation down. Em We saw the cattle cars, it's true; G D7 G Maybe they carried a Jew or two. Em They woke us up as they rattled through, G D7 G But what did you expect me to do?" [Chorus] G We didn't know at all; C G We didn't see a thing. You can't hold us to blame A D7 What could we do? G It was a terrible shame, C But we can't bear the blame. G C D7 G Oh no, not us, we didn't know. [Verse] G C "We didn't know", said the congregation, G D7 G Singing a hymn in a church of white. C "The Press was full of lies about us, G D7 G Preacher told us we were right. Em The outside agitators came; G D7 G They burned some churches and put the blame Em On decent southern people's names, G D7 G To set our colored people aflame. Em And maybe some of our boys got hot, G D7 G And a couple of niggers and reds got shot, Em They should have stayed where they belong - G The preacher would've told us D7 G if we'd done wrong." [Chorus] G We didn't know at all; C G We didn't see a thing. You can't hold us to blame A D7 What could we do? G It was a terrible shame, C But we can't bear the blame. G C D7 G Oh no, not us, we didn't know. [Verse] G C "We didn't know", said the puzzled voter, G D7 G Watching the President on TV. C "I guess we've got to drop those bombs, G D7 G If we're gonna keep South Asia free. Em The President's such a peaceful man, G D7 G I guess he's got some kind of plan. Em They say we're torturing prisoners of war, G D7 G But I don't believe that stuff no more. Em Torturing prisoners is a communist game, G D7 G And You can bet they're doing the same. Em I wish this war was over and through, G D7 G But what do you expect me to do?" [Chorus] G We didn't know at all; C G We didn't see a thing. You can't hold us to blame A D7 What could we do? G It was a terrible shame, C But we can't bear the blame. G C D7 G Oh no, not us, we didn't know.
