 Strum E at about 9 times I think.
Frankie  was a good girl.
 Everybody knows.
Payed  100 dollers for Albert's new suite of clothes.
 He was her man but he done her wrong.
Albert  said, "I'm leaving you.
Won't  be gone for long.
Don't  wait for me.
A-worry  about me when I'm gone."
He  was her man but he done her wrong.
Frankie  went down to the corner saloon.
Get  a bucket of beer.
Said  to the bartender.
"Has  my lovin' man been here?"
He  was her man but he done her wrong.
 Instrumental solo with the chords above.
"Well,  I ain't gonna tell you no stories.
I  ain't gonna tell you no lies.
I  saw Albert an hour ago.
 With a gal named Alice Bly."
He  was her man but he done her wrong.
Frankie  went down to 12th Street.
Lookin'  up through the window high.
She  saw her Albert there.
Lovein'  up Alice Bly.
He  was her man but he done her wrong.
  Frankie  pulled out a pistol.
Pulled  out a forty-four.
Gun  went off a rootie-toot-toot
And  Albert fell on the floor.
He  was her man but he done her wrong.
Frankie  got down upon her knees.
Took  Albert into her lap.
Started  to hug and kiss him.
But  there was no bringin' him back.
He  was her man but he done her wrong.
 "Gimme  a thousand policemen.
Throw  me into a cell.
I  shot my Albert dead.
And  now I'm goin' to hell.
He  was her man but he done me wrong
Judge  said to the jury.
"Plain  as a thing can be.
A  woman shot her lover down.
Murder  in the second degree."
He  was her man but he done her wrong.
Frankie  went to the scaffold.
Calm  as a girl could be.
Turned  her eyes up towards the heavens.
Said,  "Nearer, my God, to Thee."
He  was her man but he done her wrong.
 Finish song with solo.
 Sorry, If I'm wrong.
 Overall, enjoy!
