G5 
Well I was hauling logs ten years ago 
    D5 
The news was out on the radio 
       E5 
That a shot was fired the night before 
      C5 
And a local man lay dead on the floor 
G5 
And the dust was flying in the lumberyard 
D5 
Lights were flashing on two black cars 
        E5 
I said, sheriff I ain't done nothing wrong 
        C5 (hold) 
He just knocked me down and put the handcuffs on 
 

       G5          D5 
I was framed, they took me away 
     E5             C5 
Like I was the only one to blame 
G5       D5 
Framed, guilty they said 
E5                 C5 
Railroaded me on a one way train 
G5              D5 
Framed, and on judgement day 
     E5                 C5 
They want me to hang my head in shame 
            G5                D5 
But I was framed, and that's all I'll say 
    E5               C5 
Now don't be running down my name 
         G5 
I was framed

G5 
Barbara Jo cried through the glass 
       D5 
At the murder trial I seen her last 
  E5 
I loved that woman but now she's free 
    C5 
She turned away when they sentenced me 
G5 
And the guilty man ain't never told 
    D5 
Ten years later they put me on the road 
    E5 
And I'll always say that I got screwed 
      C5 (hold) 
I'm a brand new man with the same attitude 
 

        G5          D5 
I was framed, they took me away 
     E5             C5

G5 
Now the guilty man paid long ago 
         D5 
He's the same man who got laid low 
        E5 
When he took my wife he was hell bound 
C5 (hold) 
Even if I did gun him down 
 
 
       G5          D5 
I was framed, they took me away
