Jesse James

  G                            
When Jesse James was a lad he’d 
  C             G
killed many a man,
                         D7
He robbed the Glendale train,
 G                               C
And the people they did say for 
           G
many miles away
G                 D7             
It was robbed by Frank and Jesse 
   G
James.


[Chorus]
    C                       G
Poor Jesse had a wife who mourned 
for his life,
Three children - they were brave and
  D7
 true
    G                           
But that dirty little coward who 
 C                G
shot Mister Howard
   G               D7       G
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave


[Verse 2]
  G                            
It was on a Saturday night if I 
  C             G
remember it right
When they robbed that Glendale 
  D7
train.
       G                           
It was one of the Younger boys who 
C                   G
gathered in the spoils,
   G                D7           G
And he carried Jesse's monies away.

[Verse 3]
  G                              C
He was standing on a chair just a 
             G
dustin pictures there
                         D7
He thought he heard a noise
    G                              
When he turned his head around, 
   C                      G
then a bullet smacked him down
 G               D7              G
And it laid poor Jesse on the floor


[Chorus]
    C                       G
Poor Jesse had a wife who mourned

[Verse 4]
  G                              C
Jesse robbed from the rich and he 
             G
gave to the poor
                              D7
He never did an un-friendly thing
        G                          
And when his best friend died he 
   C                  G
was right there by her side
 G               D7              
And he lifted off her golden wedding
G
 ring

    C                       G
Poor Jesse had a wife who mourned 
for his life
Three children - they were brave and

   G               D7       G
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave
