First Verse:
Dm FOn a small Missouri farm
Back when the West was young
Dm CTwo boys learned to rope and ride
Bb FAnd be handy with a gun
War broke out between the states
C FAnd they joined up with Cantrell
Dm CAnd it was over in Clay County
That Frank and Jesse finally learned to kill
Keep on riding, riding, riding
Frank and Jesse James
Dm C FKeep on riding, riding, riding
Bb FUntil you clear your names
Keep on riding, riding, riding
Bb FAcross the rivers and the plains
Dm C FKeep on riding, riding, riding
Frank and… Jesse James
Second Verse:
Dm FAfter Appomadox,
they was on the losing side
Dm Cso no amnesty was granted
Bb Fand as outlaws they did ride
they rode against the railroads
C Fand they rode against the banks
Dm Cand they rode against the governor
never did they ask for a word of thanks
Third Verse:
Robert Ford, a gunman,
C FIn exchange for his parol
Dm CTook the life of James the outlaw
Which he snuck up on and stole
Dm FNo one know just where they came
C FTo be misunderstood
But the poor Missouri farmers know
Bb C FThat Frank and Jesse do the best they could
