[Verse 1]
[D]Joh[G]n W[D]esley Ha[A]rding[D]
[G]shot a man for snoring
[A]Killed him in the bed right where he [D]lay
He took a snort of whisky and
[G]went back to his sleepin
[A]Rode out before they found
him the next day,
[D]

[Verse 2]
Now the brothers Frank and Jesse,
[G]No-one could could be more fearsome
They [A]robbed the trains and rode
in the outlaw gang[D]s
The civil war was over [G]but still
they fought for Dixie
And [A]legend has their last name
to be James.
[D][G]

[Verse 3]

Livin' in [A]the west [D]must
have been the be[Bm]st[G]
Must have been the greatest time of [A]all
[G]Me I lived in the [A]east and I was

bar-rooms starting starting brawls.
[A]

[Verse 6]
And now [D]the frontier days are over
for [G]William Frank and Jesse
And a [A]thousand other bad

Livin' in the west must
have been the best
Must have been the greatest times of all
