Jesse James

G    F     D


(verse)
D                  G     F    D
I was raised doin' right from wrong
D                   G   F      D
Baptized under that old rugged cross
  G                       C
I try to be a good man, I always 
give it my best
    G                              
But truth be told some days I wanna
           C
 go to the wild wild west



(chorus)
D                            G F
  I wanna line 'em up and drink 
    D
'em
D                         G F    G
  I wanna love 'em and leave 'em
                       F  D
Sometimes I wanna just rob the train
D                                
  Be the first draw in to have 
G  F   D
new sun
                          F     G
And feel the kick of my six gun
                   F      D
Yeah, I "WANTED" above my name
            C
Sometimes I wanna be like Jesus
G                            D
  Sometimes I wanna be Jesse James


(verse)
D                G   F   D
I know where to draw the line
                 D              
But there's just something 'bout 
       G  F  D
that other side

      G                      C
I got angels on my left, and demons 
on my right
       G                   C
It's a never ending battle, its a 
constant fight



(chorus)
D                            G F
  I wanna line 'em up and drink

Sometimes I wanna just rob the train
D

D             C G C D


(bridge-no chord)
(spoken)I wanna steal a horse and 
ride into town

Stare the sheriff down

Tell him there's a new man around 
here

I wanna walk through those swingin' 
saloon doors

And hear my spurs hit the wooden 
floor

I wanna smell nothin' but fear, ya 
hear?

Law don't go around here
