Artist: Burton Cummings
[INTRO]
[A7]
[VERSE 1]
[A7]Well I was walkin' down the street mindin' my own affairs
[A7]When two policemen come up from behind and grab me unawares
[A7]They said "You big bad Burton Cummings?", I said "Why sure!"
[A7]They said "You're the cat we been lookin' for!"
[CHORUS]
Well, I was [D7]framed
Framed, framed, framed, I was[A7] blamed
[A7]Framed, framed, framed
Well I [E7]never do nothin'
[D7]But I always get [A7]framed[E7]
[VERSE 2]
[A7]Well they took me to the lineup and let those bright lights shine
[A7]There were six poor souls like me standin' up there in that line
[A7]The judge got a witness and got her way up on the witness stand
[A7]A woman jump up, start screamin' "That's your man!"
[CHORUS]
I was [D7]framed
Framed, framed, framed, I was[A7] blamed
[A7]Framed, framed, framed
Well I [E7]never do nothin'
[D7]But I always get [A7]framed[E7]
[VERSE 3]
[A7]Well the prosecutin' attorney started prosecutin' me
[A7]Man, I mean that cat let loose and gave me the third degree
[A7]He says "Where were you on the night of July 16th, 1963?"
[A7]I said "I was cruisin'... just my sweetie and me..."
[CHORUS]
I was [D7]framed
Framed, framed, framed, I was[A7] blamed
[A7]Framed, framed, framed
Well I [E7]never do nothin'
[D7]But I always get [A7]framed[E7]
[OUTRO]
[A7]I get framed
[A7]I get set up
[A7]With circumstantial evidence
[A7]Innocent bystander, stand by me, I'm gonna need you
[A7]I got framed
[A7]I got framed
[A7]I got framed
[A7]Set up
[A7]With friends like that, I don't need no enemies
[A7]
