Intro 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) (B minor) (A major) (D major)
Verse 1
Cowboys (D major) and outlaws
and long (G major) shiny rails (D major)
Was the background setting
for grandpappy's tale (A major)
Places (D major) like Tucson and old (G major) Santa Fe (D major)
Shy in Wyoming during (A major) Rodeo Day (D major)
I'd sit there for hours
perched (G major) on his knee (D major)
And ride just as far as his
memory could see (A major)
With Billy (D major) the Kid and the
one (G major) Jesse James (D major)
Rail -riding outlaws
who robbed (A major) lots of trains (D major)
Let me tell (G major) you a story
about Billy (D major) the Kid,
the one Jesse James,
and some things that we did (A major)
I (G major) knew them well, son,
just like (D major) my own (B minor) name
Billy (A major) and Jesse and me,
we robbed trains (D major) (C major) (G major) (Asus4) (D major)
(B minor) But (A major) (D major) a boy don't stay
seven all (G major) of his life (D major)
He starts to wonder what's
true and what's lie (A major)
Still respect (D major) makes him listen
to an (G major) old man's refrain (D major)
About a wild bunch of cowboys
and (A major) make -believe train. (D major)
Let me (G major) tell you a story
about Billy (D major) the Kid,
the one Jesse James
and some things that we did. (A major)
I (G major) knew them well son,
just like (D major) my own name. (B minor)
(A major) Billy and Jesse
Billy and me, we robbed trains (D major) (C major) (D major) (C major) (G major) (D major)
The (A major) fu (D major) neral was family
as (G major) funerals should be (D major)
Except for two cowboys
no one else could see (A major)
And then (D major) they were gone
just as quick (G major) as they came (D major)
Billy and Jesse had robbed (A major) one more train (D major)
Let me (G major) tell you a story about Billy (D major) the Kid,
the one Jesse Jenks,
and some things that we did. (A major)
I (G major) knew them well, son,
just like (D major) my own (B minor) name.
(A major) Billy and Jesse and me,
we rock trains. (D major) (C major) (D major) (C major) (G major) (A major) (D major)
