DA
Frankie died just the other night
BmF#m
Some say it was suicide
G
But we know
DA
How the story goes
D
With his six string knife
A
And his street wise pride
BmF#m
The boy was a man before his time
G
And she knew
DA
All their dreams would come true
D
But ya see, Frankie was fast
A
Too fast to know
BmF#m
He wouldn't go slow Until his lethal dose
G
And she knows
DA
He'll finally come too close
ChorusD
Well, on with the show
A
Going on with the show
Bm
Come on baby
F#m
No, no, no
GA
Oh my, my, my . . . [repeat]
He was bad
He was never good
But one thing that he understood
And she knew
All those lies would come true
The time has come and
He's paid his dues
Suzy finally got the news
She always knew
This day would come soon
Chorus
He was stopped on a dime
With a switchblade knife
Some damn punk went and
Took Frankie's life
And she knew
She'd have to pull through
Broken down, with his broken dreams
With a wink of an eye
Said Suzy, listen to me
You must go
On with the show
Go on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on baby
No nono
Oh my my my my [repeat]
Oh baby
