Verse 1
(G major) Frankie (C major) and Johnny were lovers,
oh how they could love,
they (F major) swore to be true to each other,
as true as the stars above, (C major)
he was her man, (G major)
and he done her wrong. (C major)
Frankie was a good woman,
that everybody knows
She gave (F major) her Johnny a hundred dollars
and he spent it all on them whores
(C major) He was (G major) her man,
but he'd done her wrong (C major)
Frankie went down to the bar room,
asked for a glass of beer
She said (F major) to the old bartender,
has my lovin' Johnny been here? (C major)
He was my (G major) man, but he's doin' me wrong
(C major) He says, Frankie, I'll tell you no story
Frankie, I'll tell you no lie
I (F major) saw your man about an hour ago
With a girl named Alice Frye
(C major) He was your (G major) man,
but he's doin' you wrong (C major)
Well, Frankie went back to the crib house
And this time it wasn't for fun
(F major) Un der her silk kimono
She brought her forty -four gun (C major)
To kill her man
(G major) Cause it done her wrong (C major)
Well, Frankie went down to the coke joint
She stood down, rung the bell
She (F major) said, if I find my man in here,
I'll kill him sure as hell. (C major)
He was my man, (G major)
but he done me wrong. (C major)
Frankie pulled out her gun,
she squeezed that old .44.
The (F major) old gun went a -roody -toot -toot,
and Johnny rolled on the floor.
(C major) He was her man,
(G major) but he done her wrong (C major)
Roll me over Frankie, roll me over slow
Roll (F major) me on my right side,
cause my left side hurts me
So (C major) I was her man, (G major) but I done her wrong (C major)
Roll out your rubber -tired carriage,
roll out your rubber -tired hat
There's twelve (F major) men going
to the graveyard,
and eleven coming back (C major)
He was a man, (G major)
but he'd done her wrong (C major)
Frankie and Johnny were lovers,
oh how they could love
They (F major) swore to be true to each other,
true as stars above
(C major) It was her (G major) man, but he'd done her
wrong (C major) (F major)
(C major) (G major) (C major)
(F major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) (F major)
(C major)
You
(G major) (G major)
