Key : D
Capo
[Verse 1]
---------------------
D
My name is Joe Roberts
G
 I work for the state
D
 I'm a sergeant out of Perrineville
                     A
Barracks Number eight
D
 I always done an honest job
G                    D
 As honest as I could
                           A
I got a brother named Frankie
                       D
And Frankie ain’t no good

[Verse 2]
---------------------
D
 Now, ever since we was youngkids
       G                      D
It’s been the same come down
I get a call on the short wave
                           A
Frankie’s in trouble downtown
D
 Well, if it was any other man
G                           D
 I’d put him straight away
                        A
But when it’s your brother
                            D
Sometimes you look the otherway

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
         G                                D
Yeah, me and Frankie laugh in’ and drinkin’
               G                          D
Nothin’ feels better than blood on blood
               G                   D
Tak in’ turns dancin’ with Maria
                                      A
Asthebandplayed “NightoftheJohnstownFlood”
 D
Icatch him when he’s strayin’
G                   D
 Likeanybrotherwould
                       A

                         D
Well, he just ain’t no good

[Verse 3]
---------------------
     D
Well, Frankie went in the army
            G              D
Back in nineteen sixty five
I got a farm deferment
                                A
Settled down, took Maria for my wife
        D
But themwheatprices kept on droppin’
            G                          D
'Til it was like we were getting robbed
                           A
Frankie came home in sixty eight
                   D
And me, I took this job

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
     G                            D
Yeah, we’re laughin’ and drinkin’
               G                          D
Nothin’ feels better than blood on blood
              G                   D
Takin’ turns dancin’ with Maria
                                            A
As the band played “Night of the Johnstown Flood”
 D
Icatchhim when he’s strayin’
Gsus2                               D
     Teach him how to walk that line
                               Asus4
A man turns his back on his family
                        D
He ain’t no friend of mine

[Verse 4]
---------------------
G Asus4 D               D
         Well, the nightwas like any other
            Gadd9                D
I got a call'bout quarter to nine
There was trouble in a roadhouse
                       Asus4
Out on theMichigan line
           D
There was a kid lyin’ onthefloor, lookin’bad
     Gadd9
Bleedin’ hard from his head
D
 Theregirl cryin’ at a table
Asus4                      D
     And it was Frank, they said

[Verse 5]
---------------------
            D
Well, I went out and I jumped in my car
Gadd9                    D
     And I hit the lights
Well, I must’ve done a hundred and ten
                                  Asus4
Through Michigan County that night
      D
It was out at the crossroads
    Gadd9                    D
Down     ’round Willow Bank
                     Asus4
Seen a Buick with Ohio    plates
                    D
Behind the wheel was Frank
Well, I chased him through them county roads
           Gadd9                         D
'Til a sign     said “Canadian border, five miles from here”
                                 Asus4
I pulled over on the side of the highway
                                D
And watched his taillights disappear

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
   Gadd9                            D
Me and  Frankie laughin’ and drinkin’
               Gadd9
Nothin’ feels     better than blood on blood
D         Gadd9                    D
 Takin’ turns dancin’ with Maria
                                            Asus2        D
As the band played “Night of the Johnstown     Flood”
I catch him when he’s strayin’
G
 Like any brother would
D                                A
 A man turns his back on his family
                         D
Well, he just ain’t no good
