G
Well I was hauling logs ten years ago
    D
The news was out on the radio
       Em
That a shot was fired the night before
      C
And a local man lay dead on the floor
G
And the dust was flying in the lumberyard
D
Lights were flashing on two black cars
        Em
I said, sheriff I ain't done nothing wrong
        C (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
         G
I was framed

G
Barbara Jo cried through the glass
       D
At 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
G
And the guilty man ain't never told
    D
Ten years later they put me on the road
    Em
And I'll always say that I got screwed
      C (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

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