 -2'  3  -3' -4  4   -4   -2'   -2'
Frank-ie and John-ny were sweet-hearts,   
-2' 3  -3'-4  4  -4 -2'
Oh what a cou-ple in love.  
 -3'  4  -4  -5  6  -4  -5  -5
Frank-ie was loy-al to John-ny 
-4   5   -5  -5   5  -4  4
Just as true as stars a-bove 
-3''-3'-3'' 3
He was her man 
 3 -3'  -3' -3'  -2'
But he done her wrong. 
-2'  3  -3' -4  4  -4 -2'-2'
This is the end of my sto-ry 
-2'  -2' 3  -3' -4  4  -4 -2'
And this is the end of my song 
 -3'  4  -4  -5  5  -4   -5   -5
Frank-ie is down in the jail-house 
-4   5   -5   -5    5    -4    4
And she cries the whole night long 
-3'-3' -3' 3  -4  4   -4  4   -5
He was my man but he done me wrong
