[Intro] A7 [Verse 1]
A7Well I was walkin' down the street mindin' my own affairs A7When two policemen come up from behind and grab me unawares A7They said "You big bad Burton Cummings?", I said "Why sure!" A7They said "You're the cat we been lookin' for!"
[Chorus]
Well, I was D7framed Framed, framed, framed, I wasA7 blamed A7Framed, framed, framed Well I E7never do nothin' D7But I always get A7framedE7
[Verse 2]
A7Well they took me to the lineup and let those bright lights shine A7There were six poor souls like me standin' up there in that line A7The judge got a witness and got her way up on the witness stand A7A woman jump up, start screamin' "That's your man!"
[Chorus]
I was D7framed Framed, framed, framed, I wasA7 blamed A7Framed, framed, framed Well I E7never do nothin' D7But I always get A7framedE7
[Verse 3]
A7Well the prosecutin' attorney started prosecutin' me A7Man, I mean that cat let loose and gave me the third degree A7He says "Where were you on the night of July 16th, 1963?" A7I said "I was cruisin'... just my sweetie and me..."
