Nine ball was his game

He kept one step out ahead of his Rep
D D 
 
One town out ahead of his fame

Verse 2

I think I mighta seen him in Clovis
But the place was kinda loud
Am Am 
 
Even so, it was a long time ago
D D 
 
When my head sorta
stayed in a cloud

Verse 3
G G 
 
There's a lotta green in the city

There's a lot of green
between fat and lean

C C 
 
oh, Jesse
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
You might never see again

Verse 4
Em Em 
 
Well I know I saw him in Shreveport
The time this song's about
Am Am 
 
I was hangin' in town 'cause
the river was down
D D 
 
Like my sister I was sweatin'
the drought

Verse 5
Em Em 
 
He was playin' some kid
from Dallas
Who could out talk a freeway cop
Am Am 
 
A day and a half they'd been on a raft
D D 
 
Tryin' to play till the other
would drop

Bm Bm 
 
C C 
 
That you might never see again, oh, Jesse
G G 
 
You might never see again

Verse 7
Em Em 
 
Carmen wore a red silk dress
She lean'd beside the coke machine
Am Am 
 
She must have been the prize
that was in his eyes
D D 
 
It was as clear as gasoline

Verse 8

Twenty seven hundred on the table

Another twenty five in the dark

Dallas was talkin' up a blue streak

As Jesse reached for the chalk

Verse 9
Em Em 
 
The room got deathly quiet
The newsboy shut his mouth
Am Am 
 
The cold north wind changed
it's mind again
D D 
 
And blew lazy from the south

Verse 10

The whippoorwills quit singin'

Not even the judge did laugh

When Jesse Justice chalked his saber

And sliced the 9 in half

Verse 11
G G 
 
There's a lotta green in the city
D D 
 
That you can't cut thick or thin
Am Am 
 
There's a lot of green
between fat and lean

That you might never see again,
Bm Bm 
 
C C 
 
oh, Jesse
G G 
 
You might never see again
