	Intro: C G Am F G C (2x)

Verse:

C G Am F G C (4x)

Jessie is a friend

Yeah I know, he's been a good friend of mine

But lately something's changed, it ain't hard to define

Jessie's got himself a girl, and I wanna make her mine

Pre-chorus:

	C	C	Am	F	G
	And she's	watching him with those	eyes

	C	C	Am	F	G
	And she's	loving him with that	body, I	just	know it

	C	C	Am	F	G	C	G
	And he's	holding her in his a	rms,	late	late at	night

Chorus:

(see note at end)

G C G Am Gsus4 Am Gsus4 (2x)

You know, I wish that I had Jessie's girl

I wish that I had Jessie's girl

	F	G	C	Am	G
	Where	can I	find her, a	woman like	that?

Verse 2:

I play along with the charade

There doesn't seem to be a reason to change

You know I feel so dirty when they start talking cute

I want to tell her that I love her but the point is probably moot

Pre-chorus (same as above):

'Cause she's watching him with those eyes

And she's loving him with that body, I just know it

And he's holding her in his arms, late late at night

Chorus:

You know I wish that I had Jessie's girl

I wish that I had Jessie's girl

Where can I find her, a woman like that?

Repeat chorus, last line twice (chords change slightly):

Like Jessie's girl

I wish that I had Jessie's girl

F G C F G C <-- (F instead of Am)

Where can I find her, a woman

	F	G	C	Am	G
	Where	can I	find her, a	woman like	that?

Bridge:

(Lead plays the chords shown below, as indicated;

everyone else stays on F through the bridge,

until the final G, at "supposed to be")

F C G (2x) (F,G = D shapes at 5 and 7, C at 7)

F C G (4x)

And I'm looking in the mirror all the time

Wond'ring what she don't see in me

Yeah I've been funny I've been cool with the lines

Ain't that the way love's supposed to be?

E A E F#m Esus4 F#m Esus4 (4x)

(Just like the chorus riff, but 1.5 steps lower)

	F	G	C	Am	G
Tell me,	where	can I	find her a	woman like	that?

Solo: Verse chords ( C G Am F G C ) 4x

Chorus (with one extra repeat):

You know I wish that I had Jessie's girl

I wish that I had Jessie's girl

I want Jessie's girl

Where can I find her, a woman like that?

Chorus again, as above but without last line:

Like Jessie's girl

I wish that I had Jessie's girl

I want, I want Jessie's girl

----------------------------------

Note:

For the chorus, you can try it with open chords, like this:

Gsus4

e----------------------------------------------------
B-------1-1-1---0---1---1---1---1--------------------
G---0---0-0-0---0---2---0---2---0--------------------
D---0---2-2-2---0---2---0---2---0--------------------
A---2---3-3-3----------------------------------------
E---3------------------------------------------------

or barred like so:

Gsus4

e----------------------------------------------------
B-------5-5-5----------------------------------------
G-------5-5-5-------5---5---5---5--------------------
D---5---5-5-5---5---7---5---7---5--------------------
A---5---3-3-3---5---7---5---7---5--------------------
E---3-----------3---5--------------------------------

(Since the recording is a full step higher, I suppose

it's the barre chords, but the open version sounds

better on my acoustic)

Enjoy,

Bob.
