Warren Zevon's Frank & Jesse James (Cover)

Warren Zevon's Old West saga featuring Frank & Jesse James foretold a songwriting career that would find ironic introspection into the lives of anti-heroes and other neer-do-wells, often times modeled by his own erratic and peculiar behaviors. Frank and Jesse never asked for a word of Thanks; somehow I think
Zevon knew that the fact it rhymed with Banks was secondary to the message.

[JustPlainDB]

@logalboa  Im sorry , I dont know how to write tabs.... I just took the basic chords and tried to add the piano parts on the top. The arrangement is all open chords in the first position in the key of G.

Great cover. It's my favorite Zevon song (and also the first one I've heard from him) and your arrangement for guitar do it justice.

Thanks a lot. Playing piano on the guitar sometimes doesn't translate well, however, if you are one of those Windham Hill guitar players, it might..lol.

Well thank you. I bought this LP as soon as it was available after reading that Jackson Browne was producing some guy named Warren Zevon... what a great combination of talent.
