Well I was hauling logs ten years ago
    D
The news was out on the radio
       Em
That a shot was fired the night before
      C
And a local man lay dead on the floor
G
And the dust was flying in the lumberyard
D
Lights were flashing on two black cars
        Em
I said, sheriff I ain't done nothing wrong
        C (hold)
He just knocked me down and put the handcuffs on

       G          D
I was framed, they took me away
     Em             C
Like I was the only one to blame
G       D
Framed, guilty they said
Em                 C
Railroaded me on a one way train
G              D
Framed, and on judgement day
     Em                 C
They want me to hang my head in shame
            G                D
