Jesses Soul

Now Jesse's pew was empty for three Sundays in a row D The elders sent a party just to find out what was wrong G The first thing that they found when they broke down the door D C G D Was a yellowed piece of paper lyin' on the floor [Verse 2] D Written in some woman's hand that no one recognized D Was a note that had been dated August 1965 G Said Jesse, don't forsake me on one last final score D C G D Meet me in Del Rio, it's the one we waited for [Chorus] A G D The Lord was Jesse's shepherd and rightous was his path A B G There's still a debt to settle with the demons of his past D G The double-crossed had doubled back and vengeance took control D C G D There's blood across the river and a stain on Jesse's soul [Verse 3] D A Mexican newspaper and a younger Jesse's face D A 30 year old road map and an empty cartridge case G Were lyin' by the Bible that was opened to the Psalms D C G D He took his comfort with him cause the twenty-third was gone [Chorus] A G D The Lord was Jesse's shepherd and rightous was his path A B G There's still a debt to settle with the demons of his past D G The double-crossed had doubled back and vengeance took control D C G D There's blood across the river and a stain on Jesse's soul [Interlude] A G D A B G D G D C G D [Bridge] F D Thirty years of dreamin' just how sweet revenge can be F D Will twist the soul of any man and steal his sanity D G No amount of Sunday hymns is ever gonna set that straight D C G D Jesse took the peace he found and nailed it to his hate [Chorus] A G D The Lord was Jesse's shepherd and rightous was his path A B G There's still a debt to settle with the demons of his past D G The double-crossed had doubled back and vengeance took control D C G D There's blood across that river and a stain on Jesse's soul D C G D D There's blood across the river and a stain on Jesse's soul
