Verse 1
D

Jesse James was a lad
G
D

that killed many a man

He robbed with the Glendale train
A
D

He stole from the rich
G

and he gave to the poor
D
A
D

He'd a hand and a heart and a brain
G

Oh, Jesse had a wife
D

to mourn for his life
A

Three children they were afraid
D
G
D

But that dirty little car that shot Mr. Hart
A

Was laid poor Jesse in his grave
D
G
D

It was Robert Ford, that dirty little car,
A

I wonder how he does feel
D

For he ate of Jesse's bread
G
D

and he slept in Jesse's bed
A
D

Then he laid poor Jesse in his grave
G

For Jesse had a wife
D

to mourn for his life,
A

his children they were brave
D

Hoped a dirty little car
G
D

that had shodded Mr. Howard
A
D

Had a lid for Jesse and he was free

Now Jesse was a man,
G
D

a friend to the poor
A

He'd never rob a mother or her child
D

And there never was a man
G

with the law in his hand
D
A

That could take Jesse James when alive
D
G

Oh, Jesse had a wife
D

who mourned for his life
A

Three children, they were brave
D
G

But the dirty little car that shot Mr. Howard

It was on a Saturday night,
G
D

the moon was shining bright,
A

They robbed the Glendale train,
D

And the people they did save,
G
A

Were many miles away,
D

T 'was those outlaws,
A
D

Brian and Jesse James.
G

Oh, Jesse had a wife
D

to mourn for his life,
A

Three children they were rich,
D
G
D

But the dirty little car that shot up Mr. Hyre
A
D

Had laid poor Jesse in his grave

Now the people held their breath
G
D

when they heard of Jesse's death

They wondered how he'd
A

ever come to fall
D

Robert Ford, it was a fact,
G
D

shot Jesse in the back
A
D

While Jesse hung a picture on the wall
G

Oh, Jesse had a wife
A
D

that mourned for his life
A

His children never free
D

But the dirty little coward
G
D

that shot Mr. Howard
A
D

Had a lid for Jesse in his grave

Now Jesse went to rest
G

with his hand on his breast
D

The devil will be upon his knee
A
D

He was born one day in
G
D

the county of Clay,
A
D

And he came from a solitary race.
G

Oh, Jesse had a wife
D
A

who mourned for his life,
D
A

These children they were brave.

G

The dirty little cowardly shot Mr. Howard
A

Had laid poor Jesse in his grave.

This song was made up by Billy Gashade
D
A

As soon as the news did arrive
D

He said there was no man
G

with a law in his hand
D

That could take Jesse
A
D

James when alive
G

Oh, Jesse had a wife
A
D

who mourned for his life
A

Three children, they were brave
D

But the dirty little coward
G

Has laid poor Jesse in his grave

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
