[F] [C] [C] [F] Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts, at least that's the [C] way the [F] story [C] goes.
[Bb] Frankie bought everything for Johnny, from his sports car [F] to his Ivy League clothes.
[C] Oh, he was a man [G] alright, [Bb] oh, but [F] he was doing it wrong.
[C] [Bb] Just to show you [Gm] what can happen, [F] a friend came running to Frankie,
said, you know I wouldn't tell you no lie.
[Bb] I saw your man riding in his Jaguar with a chick [F] named Nellie Bly.
Oh, if he [C] was your man, honey, let [Bb] me tell you he [F] was doing you wrong.
[C] [Bb] Let me [A] tell the [F] story, Frankie ran around the corner and peeped in a swinging place.
[Bb] And there she saw Johnny with the woman, he had his [F] arm around her waist.
Oh, he [C] was a man alright, but [Bb] Frankie could see [F] that he was doing her wrong.
Oh, let me tell you, Frankie reached down in her pocketbook and up with a long 44.
She [Bb] shot once, twice, three times and Johnny fell [Dm] on the hardwood floor.
Oh, he [C] was a man alright, [Bb] but she shot him [F] because she was doing her wrong.
[C] The [Bb] [Am] first thing he told her [F] was, Frankie, you know I love you.
Why, [C] honey, why did you do [Bb] that, Frankie?
I was telling [F] her about you, Frankie.
You know [Am] I love [Gm] you, Frankie.
[Bb] You know [F]
good and well that I love you, Frankie.
I love you, [Bb] baby, Frankie.
You know I [F] can't do without you, Frankie.
You know [Am] I love you, [C] I'm your man.
[Bb] All [F] I was doing you wrong, wrong, wrong.
Let me tell you, Frankie, baby, you know I love
