Capo 1st Fret

G D Em C C

Intro { } x2

Well I was hauling logs ten years ago

The news was out on the radio

That a shot was fired the night before

And a local man lay dead on the floor

And the dust was flying in the lumberyard

Lights were flashing on two black cars

I said, sheriff I ain't done nothing wrong

(hold)

He just knocked me down and put the handcuffs on

G D

I was framed, they took me away

Em C

Like I was the only one to blame

G D

Framed, guilty they said

Em C

Railroaded me on a one way train

G D

Framed, and on judgement day

Em C

They want me to hang my head in shame

G D

But I was framed, and that's all I'll say

Em C

Now don't be running down my name

I was framed

G D Em C

Barbara Jo cried through the glass

At the murder trial I seen her last

I loved that woman but now she's free

She turned away when they sentenced me

And the guilty man ain't never told

Ten years later they put me on the road

And I'll always say that I got screwed

(hold)

I'm a brand new man with the same attitude

G D

I was framed, they took me away

Em C

Like I was the only one to blame

G D

Framed, guilty they said

Em C

Railroaded me on a one way train

G D

Framed, and on judgement day

Em C

They want me to hang my head in shame

G D

But I was framed, and that's all I'll say

Em C

Now don't be running down my name

G D Em C

I was framed

G D Em C C

Now the guilty man paid long ago

He's the same man who got laid low

When he took my wife he was hell bound

(hold)

Even if I did gun him down

G D

I was framed, they took me away

Em C

Like I was the only one to blame

G D

Framed, guilty they said

Em C

Railroaded me on a one way train

G D

Framed, and on judgement day

Em C

They want me to hang my head in shame
