Not sure who originally recorded this tune, but this is how its played by Jack Johnson during a radio studio recording. Need to listen to the song to get the strumming rhythm. (Only noted are where the chord changes...play the chord through the entire verse(s) you reach the next chord) *CHORUS*Well GFrankie and Albert were sweethearts And lordy how they could love They Cvowed to love one anotherBaby beneath those stars aboveIt was her maDn C But he was doing her wronGg D*VERSE 1*Well GFrankie went down to the barroom To fetch herself a bucket of beer The Cbartender said Miss Frankie you knowYour lovin' man been hereIt was your maDn C But he was doing you wronGg D*VERSE 2*The Gbartender said Miss Frankie Well girl I can't tell you no lies Your Chusband left about an hour agoWith that Hussy named Nelly BlyIt was your maDn C But he was doing you wronGg D*VERSE 3*Well GFrankie she cried, she cried, she cried She said now lordy what have I done CI done give enough love to my manHe done took my love and runIt was my maDn C But he was doing me wronGg D*VERSE 4*Well GAlbert saw Frankie comin' He said lordy don't you shoot But Cout from under that red kimonoThe gun went rooty-toot-tootShe shot that maDn C Because he was doing her wronGg D*VERSE 5*Boo-hoo Gboo-hoo boo-hoo She said baby what have I done CI done shot the only man I lovedWith a Colt 44 gunI shot my maDn C Because he was doing me wronGg D*VERSE 6*And the Gsheriff come quickly, quickly, quickly He done clipped her at the trail CHe said now look here woman you done shot your manStick you in the county jailTalkin' about your maDn C But he was doing you wronGg D*REPEAT CHORUS*
