[D]
For the last six years, Jesse James has led this outlaw band,
picking his way on the thoroughbred grade through the trails of this southern land,
with a gun in his hand, with old bandana around his face,
wrapped in a soldier's cloak.
He's made a stand for the common man, suffering the rich man's yoke,
[G] stood [D] for the common foe, for the common foe.
[G] Well, you either live poor outside of the mall,
then they run you down, turn you down, and put [D] you in the Hall of Fame.
[G] I've heard them say it's the price you pay,
you give your life to live, you live to live it [D] like a ball of flame,
or riding [C] in a hiding [G] in a running with Jesse [D] James.
In a Kentucky bank I watched his eyes, they were hard as pernished steel.
He'd bust through the door with a .44,
spinning it like a wheel, [G] like a [D] wagon wheel.
You never could tell what was in his head or what he'd plan next time.
If we're fighting for forgotten cause or to keep our pockets lined,
[G] we [D] don't really mind, hell, [G] we don't [D] mind.
[G] Well, you either live poor outside of the mall,
then they run you down, turn you down, and put you in the [D] Hall of Fame.

[G] We might have lost the war, but we're going to end up with [D] an awful lot of Yankee money before this thing's over with.
[C] [G]
[D] Right on, Jesse.
Right on, son.
