Jessie James Capo 3rd Fret D Jesse James was a lad G D That killed many a man A He robbed the Glendale train D He stole from the rich G D And he gave to the poor A D He'd a hand and a heart and a brain Well it was Robert Ford G D That dirty little coward A I wonder now how he feels D For he ate of Jesse’s bread G D And he slept in Jesse's bed A D And he laid poor Jesse in his grave Chorus: G Well Jesse had a wife D To mourn for his life Three children A Now they were brave D But that dirty little coward G D That shot Mr. Howard A D He laid poor Jesse in his grave Verse chords: D | G D | D | A D | G D | D A | D (x2) Well Jesse was a man G D A friend to the poor A He'd never rob a mother or a child D There never was a man with G D The law in his hand A D That could take Jesse James when alive It was on a Saturday night G D Well the moon was shining bright A They robbed the Glendale train D And people they did say G D O'er many miles away A D "It was those outlaws Frank and Jesse James" Chorus Now the people held their breath G D When they heard of Jesse’s death A They wondered how he’d ever come to fall D Robert Ford it was a fact G D He shot Jesse in the back A D While Jesse hung a picture on the wall Jesse went to rest G D With his hand on his breast A The devil upon his knee D He was born one day G D In the County Clay A D And he came from a solitary race Chorus (Verse chords to finish, end on D)
