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

Across the rivers and the range

[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]

'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

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
