You're struttin' into town like you're slingin' a gun
Just a small-town dude with big city attitude
Honey are you lookin' for some trouble tonight - well alright
You think you're so bad drive the women folk wild
shoot 'em all down with the flash of your pearly smile
Honey but you met your match tonight - oh that's right
Pre-horus 1
You think you'll knock me off my feet 'til I'm flat on the floor
'Til my heart is cryin' Indian and I'm beggin' for more
So come on baby, come on baby
Come on baby show me what that loaded gun is for
horus
If you can give it - I can take it
'Cos if this heart is gonna break it's gonna take a lot to break it
'Cos I knowww tonight - somebody's gonna win the fight
So if you're so tough - c'mon and prove it
Your heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it
Eb Db (Hold Chord__________)
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames - just like Jesse James

You're an outlaw lover and I'm after you hide
Well you ain't so strong
Won't be long 'til your hands are tied
Tonight I'm gonna take you in dead or alive
That's right
You break the laws of love in the name of desire
C# C# C# N.C. Eb Ab
Take ten steps back 'cause I'm ready baby - aim and fire
Baby there's nowhere you gonna run tonight - ooh that's right
Pre-horus 2
Well you had your way with love but it's the end of the day
Now a team of wild horses couldn't drag your heart away
So come on baby, come on baby
Come on baby you know there ain't nothing left to say
horus
If you can give it - I can take it
'Cos if this heart is gonna break it's gonna take a lot to break it
I knowww tonight - somebody's gonna win the fight
So if you're so tough - c'mon and prove it
Your heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames - just like Jesse James

I'm gonna shoot you down Jesse James

My favourite way to play this song is with a clean, acoustic
sounding effect for the first two verses, then a heavy
distortion for the chorus, followed by a real smooth lead
sound for the solo, using the neck pickup. The actual record
is obviously played on a steel-stringed acoustic.
I play all of the chords using either the A or E shapes,
I find these sound closer to the record than if you use the D
shape for the Db and Eb.
