[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]
        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

[Chorus]
      Dm        C     F
Well, 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              F
Frank and Jesse James
