Frank And Jesse James

Warren Zevon

 DmF
 On a small Missouri farm
 CF
Back when the West was young
 DmC
 Two boys learned to rope and ride
 A#F
And be handy with a gun
 DmF
 War broke out between the states
 CF
And they joined up with Cantrell
 DmC
And it was over in Clay County
 A#CF
That Frank and Jesse finally learned to kill

Chorus:
 DmCF
Keep on riding, riding, riding
 A#F
 Frank and Jesse James
 DmCF
Keep on riding, riding, riding
 A#F
Until you clear your names
 DmCF
Keep on riding, riding, riding
 A#F
Across the rivers and the plains
 DmCF
Keep on riding, riding, riding
 A#Dm
 Frank and… Jesse James

Second Verse:
 DmF
 After Appomadox,
 CF
they was on the losing side
 DmC
so no amnesty was granted
 A#F
and as outlaws they did ride
 DmF
they rode against the railroads
 CF
and they rode against the banks
 DmC
and they rode against the governor
 A#CF
 never did they ask for a word of thanks

Chorus

Third Verse:
 DmF
 Robert Ford, a gunman,
 CF
In exchange for his parol
 DmC
Took the life of James the outlaw
 A#F
Which he snuck up on and stole
 DmF
 No one know just where they came
 CF
To be misunderstood
 DmC
But the poor Missouri farmers know
 A#CF
That Frank and Jesse do the best they could
