D D G In a tattoo shop at the end of Main D D G Two lovers set out with no restraint Em A He swore she was the one from day one Em A She swore he made her complete D D G In a tattoo shop at the end of Main Em A D Above his heart they carved Jesse's name The years flew by so fast underneath their feet Bills to pay just tryin' to make ends meet A buddy asked him why he chose the road that he was on Asked him how he kept form goin' insane And in a little bar at the end of Main He pulled off his shirt and he showed 'em Jesse's name C 'Til late one night came a phone call G That said, "You gotta come home from work Em A D 'Cause the baby says it's time for me to go C G And I know it's a little early and I thought I could wait Em A But baby I can't stand the pain" And in a hospital room at the corner of 5th and Main They gave their little miracle Jesse's name Seventy years, gray haired and still in love Holding' hands like they were still 18 They both knew Jesse's time was growin' short Somehow they both chose not to believe And in a hospital room at the corner of 5th and Main Oh he cried the last time Jesse said his name And in a field lined with daisies They laid her in the ground As their daughter held the man that they both loved And as the preacher said his words And the choir began to sing Oh he felt the pain Underneath Jesse's name Underneath Jesse's name In a tattoo shop at the end of Main He remembers the day they carved Jesse's name | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA C D Em F# G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
