Typical riff repeated at beginning of every line of the verses: e|---------------| B|---5---3-------| G|---5---3h4-----| D|-5---5-----5---| A|---------------| E|---------------| The chord backing in the Chorus from R.V in the Chorus are single chords as marked. the chords in ( ) show where the backing changes. #1: I was walkin' down the street, mindin' my own affair When two policemen grabbed me, unaware He says "Is your name Henry?" I says "Why sure" He says "You the boy I bin lookin' for" No chord I was framed, framed, I was blamed, framed ( Well, I never knew nothin, but I always get framed Oh, framed #2: They took him in the line up and let those bright lights shine, There was ten poor souls like me in that line I knew I was a victim of someone's evil plan When a stool pigeon walked in and says "That's your man" No chord I was framed, framed, I was blamed, oh framed, framed, framed Well, I never knew nothin, but I always get framed Oh, framed #3: Well, the prosecutin' attorney started a'prosecutin' me Man, that cat didn't give me the one, but the third degree He says "Where were you on the night of July 1953?" "Man I was just home just a tweedly-dee" No chord I was framed oh framed, I was blamed, oh framed, framed, framed, Well I never knew nothin, but I always get framed Oh, framed, Oh framed
