Chords for Frank James' Farewell

_ _ [D] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
I dusted off my posters, [G] polished up [D] my gun,
[G] Jotted down [D] my memories of [A] my moments in the sun.
[D] Now by all rights and reason, I should not be standing here,
[G] But I had to leave [D] my brother [A] by another third [D] year. _
And [G] tonight I can hear Jesse [D] calling, _
And [G] tonight we will ride [E] once again. _
[A] I [G] believe I have seen my [D] last sunset, _
[G] I [D] believe I [A] have jumped my [Bm] last train,
[G] I [D] believe I [A] have jumped my [D] last train.
_ Now me and little Jesse rode our way to fame,
_ Engineers would shudder [A] at the mention of [D] our name.
We were more than dime store novels,
We were more than flash and noise,
[G] We were far more [D] from the sort of [A] Mrs.
James' [D] baby boys.
_ [G] And tonight I can hear [D] Jesse calling,
_ _ [G] And tonight we will ride [A] once again.
_ I [G] believe I have seen my [D] last sunset,
[G] I [D] believe I [A] have jumped my [Bm] last train,
_ [G] I [D] believe I [A] have jumped my [D] last train.
_ [A] We protected each other [G] like blood [D] brothers should,
[G] Now time's [D] finally done what the law [A] never could.
_ _ [G] And tonight I can hear [D] Jesse calling,
_ [G] And tonight we will ride [A] once again.
For [G] I believe I have seen my [D] last sunset,
[G] _ [D] I believe I [A] have jumped my [Bm] last train,
_ [G] _ [D] I believe I [A] have jumped my [D] last train.
_ _ [G] _ _
Wait for me Jesse.
