Jesse James Chords by Bruce Springsteen

_ _ _ _ _ _ Jesse James was a lad that killed many a man.
[C] He robbed a Glendale train.
_ [F]
He stole from the rich and he gave to the poor.
He'd a hand and a [C] heart and a [F] brain. _ _
Well it was Robert [Bb] Ford, that dirty [F] little coward.
I wonder now how [C] he feels. _
_ [F] Afraid of Jesse's [Bb] bread and he slept [F] in Jesse's bed and he laid [C] poor Jesse in his grave.
[Bb] Well Jesse had a wife [F] and a moan for his life.
Three children and they were [C]
great.
Well [F] that dirty little [Bb] coward that shot [F] Mr.
Howard, he laid [C] poor Jesse [F] in his grave.

[F] _ _ _ Jesse was a man [Bb] afraid to [F] the poor.
He'd never robbed a mother [C] or a child.
_ [F] He was a man with [Bb] a law in [F] his hand that could take [C] Jesse James [F] when alive.
_ _ It was on a Saturday night, [Bb] the moon was [F] shining bright.
He robbed a [C] Glendale train.
_ [F] And the people they had to say, [Bb] oh her man [F] miles away.
Was those [C] outlaws that banged [F] Jesse James.
_ [Bb] Well Jesse had a [F] wife and a moan for his life.
Three children and they [C] were great.
_ [F] Well that dirty little coward [Bb] that shot [F] Mr.
Howard, he laid [C] poor Jesse [F] in his grave. _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ _ And the people held their breath [Bb] when they heard of [F] Jesse's death.
They wondered how he'd ever [C] come to all.
[F] Robert Ford was a fact, [Bb] he shot Jesse [F] in the back.
While Jesse [C] hung a picture on the [F] wall.
And Jesse went to rest [Bb] with his hand [F] on his wrist.
The devil upon [C] his knee.
_ [F] He was born one day, [Bb] here [F] mechanically.
And he came [C] from a [F] solitary race.
[Bb] Well Jesse had a [F] wife and a moan for his life.
Three children and they [C] were great.
_ [F] Well that dirty little [Bb] coward that shot [F] Mr.
Howard, he laid [C] poor Jesse [F] in his grave. _ _ _ _ _
