[Intro 1]
[G][D][Em][C][G][D][Em][C]

[Verse 1]
Well I [G]was
hauling logs ten years ago
[D]The news was out on the radio
That [Em]a shot was fired the
night before
[C]And a local man lay dead on the floor
And [G]the dust was flying in the lumberyard
[D]Lights were flashing on two black cars
I said, [Em]sheriff I ain't done nothing wrong
He [C]just knocked me down
and put the handcuffs on

[Verse 2]
I was [G]framed, they [D]took me away
Like [Em]I was the only on[C]e to blame
[G]Framed, [D]guilty they said
[Em]Railroaded me on a[C] one way train
[G]Framed, and on [D]judgement day
They [Em]want me to hang my [C]head in shame
But I was [G]framed,
and that's [D]all I'll say
Now [Em]don't be running [C]down my name

[Interlude 1]
I was framed
[G][D][Em][C]

[Verse 3]
[G]Barbara Jo cried through the glass
At [D]the murder trial I seen her last
[Em]I loved that woman but now she's free
[C]She turned away when
they sentenced me
And the [G]guilty man ain't never told
[D]Ten years later they put me on the road
And I'll [Em]always say that I got screwed
I'm [C]a brand new man
with the same attitude

[Verse 4]
I was [G]framed, they [D]took me away
Like [Em]I was the only on[C]e to blame
[G]Framed, [D]guilty they said
[Em]Railroaded me on a o[C]ne way train
[G]Framed, and on [D]judgement day
They [Em]want me to hang my [C]head in shame
But I was [G]framed,
and that's [D]all I'll say
Now [Em]don't be running [C]down my name

[Interlude 2]
I was framed
[G][D][Em][C][G][D][Em][C]

[Verse 5]
Now the [G]guilty man paid long ago
He's [D]the same man who got laid low
[Em]When he took my wife he was hell bound
[C]Even if I did gun him down

[Verse 6]
I was [C]framed, [G]they too[D]k me away
Like [Em]I was the only on[C]e to blame
[G]Framed, [D]guilty they said
[Em]Railroaded me on a o[C]ne way train
[G]Framed, and on [D]judgement day
[Em]They want me to hang my [C]head in shame
But I was [G]framed,
and that's [D]all I'll say
Now [Em]don't be running [C]down my name
I was [G]framed[D][Em][C]
