Verse 1
(F major)
Jesse James was a lad
That killed (B flat major) many a (F major) man
He robbed the Glendale (C major) train
He (F major) stole from the rich
And he gave (B flat major) to the (F major) poor
He'd a hand and a heart (C major) and a brain (F major)
Verse 2
Well it (F major) was Robert Ford
That (B flat major) dirty little (F major) coward
I wonder now how he (C major) feels
For he ate (F major) of Jesse's bread
And he slept (B flat major) in Jesse's bed (F major)
And he laid poor (C major) Jesse in his (F major) grave
