Traditional

Key: C

  1   -1  2   -3  3   -3    1     1
Frank-ie and John-ny were sweet-hearts,  
1   -1  2 -3   3  -3  1
Oh what a cou-ple in love. 
 -2   3  -3   4  -5 -3   4  4
Frank-ie was loy-al to John-ny
 -3  -4  4   4   -4  -3  3
Just as true as stars a-bove
2   2  -1* -1
He was her man
-1  2   -2   2    1
But he done her wrong.
 1   -1  2  -3  3  -3  1  1
This is the end of my sto-ry
 1   1   -1  2  -3  3  -3  1
And this is the end of my song
 -2   3  -3  4   -5 -3    4    4
Frank-ie is down in the jail-house
-3  -4    4    4   -4    -3    3
And she cries the whole night long
2   2 -1* -1  -3  3   -3  3    4
He was my man but he done me wrong
