Chris Knight Framed Lyrics

Capo 1st Fret

Intro {G D Em C} x2 C

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 D Em C

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
Em C
Now don't be running down my name
G D Em C
I was framed

G D Em C C

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

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 D Em C
I was framed
G D Em C
I was framed
