Verse 1
Jessie (G major) came (D major) to town (G major)
with big (D major) dreams and a (E minor) plan
Chasing neon (D major) rain (G major) bows
in (D major) hopes of finding fans (B minor)
All (C major) he ever wanted
(G major) was for (D major) them to know (E minor) his name
He (C major) set out to make the (D major) headlines
no matter what it takes (E minor) (G major)
(D major) His dad (E minor) gave (D major) him a gun (G major)
and some cash (D major) to get him (E minor) rolling
His mama cried (D major) and (G major) hugged him
(D major) as she sent him on his way
(B minor) And (B major) at the time (C major) he didn't know
(G major) it was the (D major) last time he would (E minor) see them
He (C major) promised he'd be back (D major)
to take care of them (E minor) someday
And when his (C major) re cords turned to platinum
his (D major) name went up in lights
His shows (C major) were sellin' out
and he (D major) stayed gone every night
He could (C major) never get enough
of the money (D major) or (A minor) the fame
(C major) As the years rolled by, (D major)
he lost more than he gained (E minor)
He lost a (D major) girl named Han (G major) nah,
the (D major) beauty of his (E minor) ho metown
Lost his (D major) dad to can (G major) cer
and his mo (D major) m to alcohol
(B minor) His friend (C major) s all settled down (G major)
(D major) and started happy fam (E minor) ilies
Jesse (C major) lived on the fast lane
till the fast (D major) lane came to a (E minor) crawl
Pretty soon he gave (D major) it up (G major)
and he came (D major) to settle down (E minor)
Produced a (G major) simple work
in a bar (D major) outside of (B major) town
Barely (C major) showing up (G major) ,
but (D major) later every day
(E minor) One (C major) day he didn't show it all, (D major)
people went about their (E minor) way
(D major) Jesse (C major) came to town,
big (D major) dreams and a plan
The high (C major) way and the stage,
took (D major) everything he had
He (C major) faced the road ahead,
thought (D major) he had left (A minor) behind
With a loaded (C major) .44 in his hand, (D major)
Jesse cried (E minor)
As (D major) the (C major) wildin' road got longer,
(D major) Jesse lost his way
He (C major) gave up everything
(D major) so folks would know his name
One (C major) rainy summer night
after all (D major) those years of (A minor) tryin'
With (C major) a loaded .44 to his (D major) head
With a (C major) loaded .44 to his head (D major)
Justi (E minor) fy
An (C major) d he finally made the headlines
(G major) (D major) One last time (E minor)
(G major) (C major)
