Chords for Johnny Cash - The Ballad of Jesse James

_ _ _ _ Jesse! _ _
I _ _ just killed Jesse [Cm] James!
_ [D] [Em] Jesse [C] James was a man [Fm] with blood [C] on his hands
So the brother [G] Frank shared the blame
_ [C] All the bankers were afraid
[F] But they say the [C] farmers prayed
For the outlaw [G] brothers Frank and [C] Jesse James
_ [Gm] [F] Now Jesse had a wife [C] to mourn for his life
Two children [G] they were brave
But [C] that dirty little cow
[F] Was shot down [C] to spear howl
[G] They ate Jesse James [C] and his grave
_ It was started long before
[F] The bloody [C] Civil War
The legend it [Am] still [G] remains
_ [C] Of the Yankees on the run
[F] And the glory [C] and the guns
Of the rebel [G] brothers Frank and [C] Jesse James
_ _ [F] Jesse had a wife [C] to mourn for his life
Two children they [G] were brave
But [C] that dirty little cow
[F] Was shot down [C] to spear howl
They ate [G] Jesse James [C] and his grave _ Goodbye Bob
And then one day [F] the papers [C] did say
Bob Ford got his [G]
rewarding
A [C] cowboy drunk, _ [F]
his heart did [C] plunk
_ As you do, [B]
you'll [C] get a courting
Jesse _ [F] _
had a wife [C] to mourn for his life
Two children they [G] were brave
[C] But that dirty little cow
[F] Was shot [C] down to spear howl
They [G] ate Jesse [C] James and his grave
