[Em] Frankie and me, we [E] were lovers Oh, Lordy, how we did love
[Ab] Swore we'd be true to each other [A] [F] Just as true [Gb] as the [A] stars above
I was [Dm] her [G] man [F] She called me doing [C] her wrong
[F] [C]
My lucky poker was fate When a new gal caught my eye
[F] I [Bb] gambled I tried [F] to change my luck With a chick [Cm] named Nellie Bly
[Eb] I was [G] Frankie's man [F] But I was doing [C] her wrong
[F] [F]
[C] Well, Frankie came looking to find me Yeah, she wasn't looking for fun
[F] For in her sweet, loving hand She was a totin', a forty [C]-four gun
[A] To shoot [G] a [Gm] man [F] Yeah, [C] he was doing her [Ab] wrong
[Db] Yeah, Frankie looked into the bar room And right there in front of her eye
[Gb] That was her loving Johnny Making love to [Eb] that [Db] Nellie Bly
[Ab] I was her man [Dbm] She called me doing [Db] her wrong
[A]
Yeah, [D] Frankie, I beg you don't shoot me Well, they'll put [Gm] you away in a cell
[G] You know, they'll put you where The cold wind blows
From the hottest corner of [D] hell [F] I am your [Db] [G] man
I know I done you [D] wrong
