Framed

A7

[Verse 1]
A7
Well I was walkin' down the street 
mindin' my own affairs
A7
When two policemen come up from 
behind and grab me unawares
A7
They said "You big bad Burton 
Cummings?", I said "Why sure!"
A7
They said "You're the cat we been 
lookin' for!"

[Chorus]
            D7
Well, I was framed
                             A7
Framed, framed, framed, I was blamed
A7
Framed, framed, framed
       E7
Well I never do nothin'
D7               A7    E7
But I always get framed

[Verse 2]
A7
Well they took me to the lineup and 
let those bright lights shine
A7
There were six poor souls like me 
standin' up there in that line

A7
The judge got a witness and got her 
way up on the witness stand
A7
A woman jump up, start screamin' 
"That's your man!"

[Chorus]
      D7
I was framed
                             A7
Framed, framed, framed, I was blamed
A7
Framed, framed, framed
       E7
Well I never do nothin'
D7               A7    E7
But I always get framed

[Verse 3]
A7
Well the prosecutin' attorney 
started prosecutin' me
A7
Man, I mean that cat let loose and 
gave me the third degree
A7
He says "Where were you on the night
 of July 16th, 1963?"
A7
I said "I was cruisin'... just my 
sweetie and me..."

[Chorus]
      D7
I was framed
                             A7
Framed, framed, framed, I was blamed
A7
Framed, framed, framed
       E7
Well I never do nothin'
D7               A7    E7
But I always get framed

Innocent bystander, stand by me, I'm

A7

A7
With friends like that, I don't need
 no enemies
