Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Jus[G]t a[C]bou[G]t t[C]he worst
gun battle
I've ever had in the western plains
When me and a bunch of cowboys
Run on [G]in Jesse [C]James
Come a ka- ka [G]yicky
Come, a ka- ka, yicky yicky yeah
[C]

[Verse 2]
Run into Jesse James, boys
Run into Jesse James
The guns went off like thunder
And the bullet[G]s fell [C]like rain
[G]Come a ka- ka yicky
Come, a ka- ka, [C]yicky yicky yeah

[Verse 3]
The guns went off [C]like lightning
And the bullets fell like hail
Was on our way [G]to Denver
On the old Dodge City [C]trail
Come a cow- [G]cow yicky
Come a cow- cow [C]yicky, yicky yea

[Verse 4]
And in that bloody [C]battle
With Frank and Jesse James
My partners fell [G]around me
With bullets in their brains
[C]Com[G]e a cow- cow yicky
Come a cow- cow [C]yicky, yicky yea

[Verse 5]
Frank and Jesse [C]James, boys
They robbed that midnight mail
The bank and ex[G]press station
And broke the county [C]jail
[G]Come a cow- cow yicky,
Come a cow- cow [C]yicky, yicky yea

[Verse 6]
If you're afraid to fight, [C]boys
If you're afraid to die
You'd better [G]stay out
of the Badlands
Where the red hot bullets [C]fly
Come a [G]cow- cow yicky
Come a cow- cow yicky, yicky yea
[C]

[Verse 7]
If you're afraid of dying
If you're afraid of death
You'd [G]better stay at home, boys
Stay out of Jesse's [C]path
Come a [G]cow- cow yicky
Come a cow- cow [C]yicky, yicky yea
Come a [G]cow- cow yicky
Come a cow- cow [C]yicky, yicky yea
