G Jesse James we understand C G Has killed many a man D He robbed the Union trains G He stole from the rich C G and gave to the poor D He'd a hand and a heart G and a brain Well it was on Saturday night The stars were shining bright They robbed the Glendale train And the people they did say for many miles away It was those outlays Frank and Jesse James Chorus: C Now Jesse had a wife G Lived a lady all her life D And children they were brave G But history does record C G That Bob and Charlie Ford D G Have laid poor Jesse in his grave Well, it was Bob and Charlie Ford, those dirty little cowards I wonder how they feel For they ate of Jesse's bread, they slept in Jesse's bed They laid poor Jesse in his grave Chorus Well, the people held their breath, they heard of Jesse's death They wondered how he come to fall It was Robert Ford, in fact, who shot him in the back While he hung a picture on the wall Chorus Well, history does record that Bob and Charlie Ford Have laid poor Jesse, laid poor Jesse Have laid Jesse James in his grave | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsC  D  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
