[F] [C] [F] [C]
[F] Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts, at least that's the way the story goes
[C]
[Bb] Frankie [F] bought [Bb] 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] Just to [Bb] show you what can [Gm] [F] happen, 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 [F] chick named Nellie Bly
Oh, if he [C] was your man honey, let [Bb] me tell you he was [F] doing you wrong
[C] Let [Bb] me [Am] tell the [F] story, [C] Frankie [F] 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 [Am] wrong
And oh, let [G] me tell [F] you, Frankie reached [Dm] down in her pocketbook
[F] And up with a long 44, [Bb] she shot once, [Gm] twice, [Bb] three times
And Johnny [Dm] fell on the hardwood floor
Oh, he [C] was a man alright, [Bb] but she shot him because she was [F] doing her wrong
[C] But [Bb] the last [Am] thing [G] he told [F] her was, Frankie, you know I love you
Honey, why did you do [Bb] that, Frankie?
