Intro: G
G C G
The foreman touched the cold steel lines
G D G
The rail bed was frozen with ice
G C G
In the distance an engine was keeping good time
G D G
The steam whistle moaned just twice
C G
Down in the cut past the old Tressel bridge
C D
Twelve fine horses stood
G C G
Masked men shivered in the cold on the ridge
G D G
Not far from the Glendale woods
G C G
The brass lamp shone from the swaying train
G D G
When the driver saw the red light
G C G
Her iron brakes sparked like silver rain
G D G
And the metals screamed through the night
C G
The baggage man peered out to look for the fault
C D
When fear froze up his heart
G C G
He was staring down the barrel of an army colt
G D G
That threatened to tear him apart
G
We will burn your train to cinders
C G
so throw the money on down
G
Open up your damned express car
C G
And jump down to the ground
G
But we won't touch that old woman
C G
[Incomprehensible] and they claimed
G
They ain't offered no reward
C G
For Frank and Jesse James
C G
Frank and Jesse James
G C G
In long soldier's coats frayed with the years
G D G
Quickly they scrambled aboard
G C G
Men were the sweatin' and the women shed tears
G D G
And a preacher prayed to the Lord
C G
When they opened the safe there was nothing for them
C D
So they strode down through the train
G C G
What a miserable sight these desperate men
G D G
Robbin' old folks for their gold, watch, chains
G
We will burn your train to cinders
C G
so throw the money on down
G
Open up your damned express car
C G
And jump down to the ground
G
But we won't touch that old woman
C G
[Incomprehensible] and they claimed
G
They ain't offered no reward
C G
For Frank and Jesse James
C G
Frank and Jesse James
C G
Now some say the devil had taken his soul
C D
Some say his spirit survived
G C G
But we all know he was nothin' but a Missouri farm boy
G D G
Just fighting to stay alive
C G
High above that railroad bed
C D
On a ridge where the pines grow tall
G C G
If you listen to the wind, there's a ghost of a chance
G D G
You can still hear old Jesse call
G
We will burn your train to cinders
C G
so throw the money on down
G
Open up your damned express car
C G
And jump down to the ground
G
But we won't touch that old woman
C G
[Incomprehensible] and they claimed
G
They ain't offered no reward
C G
For Frank and Jesse James
C G
Frank and Jesse James
