verse 1 
  G                              C             G 
When Jesse James was a lad heâ??d killed many a man, 
                         D7 
He robbed the Glendale train, 
 G                               C           G 
And the people they did say for many miles away 
G                 D7                G 
It was robbed by Frank and Jesse James. 



    C                       G 
Poor Jesse had a wife who mourned for his life, 
                                      D7 
Three children - they were brave and true 
    G                            C                G 
But that dirty little coward who shot Mister Howard 
   G               D7       G 
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave 




verse 2 
  G                              C             G 
It was on a Saturday night if I remember it right 
                                 D7 
When they robbed that Glendale train. 
       G                           C                   G 
It was one of the Younger boys who gathered in the spoils, 
   G                D7           G 
And he carried Jesse's monies away. 



    C                       G 
Poor Jesse had a wife who mourned for his life, 
                                      D7 
Three children - they were brave and true 
    G                            C                G 
But that dirty little coward who shot Mister Howard 
   G               D7       G 
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave 



verse 3 
  G                              C             G 
He was standing on a chair just a dustin pictures there. 
                         D7 
He thought he heard a noise. 
    G                                 C                      G 
When he turned his head around, then a bullet smacked him down, 
 G               D7              G 
And it laid poor Jesse on the floor. 



    C                       G

                                      D7

    G                            C                G

Jesse robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor 
                              D7 
He never did an un-friendly thing, 
        G                             C                  G 
And when his best friend died he was right there by her side, 
 G               D7              G 
And he lifted off her golden wedding ring. 


    C                       G
