Frankie And Johnny Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Fra[C]nkie and Johnny were lovers,
oh lordy how they did love
[F]Sworn to be true to each other,
as true as the stars above
[C]He was her man[G],
he was doing her [C]wrong
Frankie went down to the corner,
just for a bucket of beer
[F]She said, Mr. Bartender,
has my lover Johnny been [C]here?
He was my [G]man, he wouldn't do me [C]wrong
I don't want to cause you no trouble,
ha ha, don't want to tell you no lies
[F]I saw your lover half an hour ago
with a gal named Nellie [C]Bly, he was your [G]man,
he was doing you [C]wrong
Frankie looked over the transom,
there to her great surprise
[F]There on the couch sat Johnny,
makin' love to Nellie Bly
[C]He was her man[G],
he was doin' her [C]wrong
Frankie threw back her kimono,
she pulled out a little [F].44
She shot right through that hardwood door
[C]She shot her man[G], he was doin' her wrong
[C]You sure was, boy,
bring out your rubber -tied horses
Bring out your rubber -tied hag
I'm a [F]takin' my man to the graveyard
Lordy, lordy,
I ain't a -gonna bring him [C]back
He was [G]my man,
he was doin' me [C]wrong man of man
Frankie said to the warden hey man
what are you gonna do the [F]warden
he said to Frankie it's the
electric chair for you
[C]you shot your man[G]
he was doing you [C]wrong
this story has no moral
this story has no end
[F]this story only goes to show
that they ain't no good
[C]Ha ha, he was your [G]man,
he was doin' you [C]wrong[F][C]
Hey, hey man
