The Ballad of Jesse James

  D 
Jesse James was a man    and he killed many men 
                         A             D 
He robbed the Glendale train  and he took from the richer 
  G                                    D           A           D 
And he gave that to the poorer  he'd a hand and a heart and a brain 

     G                   D 
Oh Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life 
                               A 
Three children they were so brave 
           D                        G 
But that dirty little coward  that shot Mr. Howard 
D                 A            D 
Has laid Jesse James in his grave  
  
       D 
On Wednesday night  when the moon was shining bright 
                            A               D 
They robbed that Glendale train   and the folks from miles about 
           G              D                                
They all said without a doubt it was done by her  
A                   D 
Frankie and Jesse James  

      G                     D 
Oh Jessie had a wife, to mourn for his life 
                              A 
Three children they were so brave 
           D                         G 
But that dirty little coward  that shot Mr. Howard 
D               A             D 
Has laid poor Jesse  in his grave  

(Instrumental)  
       D 
Well the people held their breath  when they heard about Jesse's death 
                                          A          D     
And they wondered how poor Jesse came to die It was one of his guys, 
         G            D                  A                 D 
Called Little Robert Ford and he shot Jessie James on the sly 

      G                   D 
Oh Jessie had a wife to mourn for his life 
                              A 
Three children they were so brave 
           D                        G 
But that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard 
D                A            D 
Has laid Jesse James in his grave 
D                A            D 
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave 
D                A            D 
He laid Jesse James in his grave
