[Verse]

Dm             F    C 

On a small Missouri farm

     F                 F

Back when the West was young

Dm                  Am

Two boys learned to rope and ride

       Bb           F

And be handy with a gun

Dm               F        C

War broke out between the states

         F                  F

And they joined up with Cantrell

           Dm           Am

And it was over in Clay County

     Bb              C                  F

That Frank and Jesse finally learned to kill



[Chorus]

        Dm      C       F

Keep on riding, riding, riding

Bb              F

Frank and Jesse James

        Dm      C       F

Keep on riding, riding, riding

 Bb                 F

'Til you clear your names

        Dm      C       F

Keep on riding, riding, riding

           Bb             F

Across the rivers and the range

        Dm      C       F

Keep on riding, riding, riding

Bb              Dm

Frank and Jesse James



[Verse]

Dm        F

After Appomadox,

         C             F

They was on the losing side

      Dm          C

So no amnesty was granted

       Bb               F

And as outlaws they did ride

     Dm               F

They rode against the railroads

         C                F

And they rode against the banks

         Dm               C

And they rode against the governor

Bb             C                 F

Never did they ask for a word of thanks



[Chorus]

        Dm      C       F

Keep on riding, riding, riding

Bb              F

Frank and Jesse James

        Dm      C       F

Keep on riding, riding, riding

 Bb                 F

'Til you clear your names

        Dm      C       F

Keep on riding, riding, riding

           Bb               F

Across the prairies and the plains

        Dm      C       F

Keep on riding, riding, riding

Bb              Dm

Frank and Jesse James

[Verse]

Dm             F

Robert Ford, a gunman,

     C                F

In exchange for his parol

         Dm                C

Took the life of James the outlaw

         Bb              F

Which he snuck up on and stole

Dm               F

No one know just where they came

   C          F

To be misunderstood

        Dm            C

But the poor Missouri farmers know

     Bb              C                F

That Frank and Jesse do the best they could



[Chorus]

Keep on riding, riding, riding

Keep on riding, riding, riding
