Jesse James chords

Jesse [G]James was a lad that [C]killed a many of [G]men
he robbed the Glendale [D]train
he [G]stole from the rich and [C]gave to the [G]poor
with a hand and a [D]heart and a [G]brain.

®: [C]Jesse had a wife to [G]mourn for his life
three children they were [D]brave
but that [G]dirty little coward that [C]shot Mr. [G]Howard
has laid poor [D]Jesse in his [G]grave.

They say his brother Frank had robbed the Gallatin bank
and taken the money from the town
it was at that very place they had a little race
where they shot Captain Sheets to the ground.
®:

It was Robert Ford that dirty little coward
I wonder what he does feel
though he'd eat of Jesse's bread and he'd sleep in Jesse's bed
still he laid poor Jesse in his grave.
®:

It was on a summer night when Jesse stayed at home
with his loving wife so brave
Robert Ford came like a thief from the night
and laid poor Jesse in his grave.
