Framed (CHORDS) by Burton Cummings

[Intro]~
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


[Outro]~
A7
I get framed

A7
I get set up

A7
With circumstantial evidence

A7
Innocent bystander,.. stand by me,.. I'm gonna need you

A7
I got framed

A7
I got framed

A7
I got framed

A7
Set up

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