Subject: TAB: Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield

Jessie's Girl
(Rick Springfield)
from Rick Springfield, Working Class Dog

Transcribed by:  Bob Brockman, (brockman@udayton.edu)

I see requests for this periodically, so here's enough
to get you started (no solo, sorry).  The recording is
in D (full step higher).  It's a little easier to play
with open chords in C. (try a capo on the 2nd fret)

-----
Intro:  C G Am F G C  (2x)

Verse:

C      G    Am     F G C  (4x)
Jessie is a friend
Yeah I know, he's been a good friend of mine
But lately something's changed, it ain't hard to define
Jessie's got himself a girl, and I wanna make her mine

Pre-chorus: 
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/springfield_rick/jessies_girl_crd.html ]
C         (C)                     Am    F  G
And she's watching him with those eyes
C         (C)                  Am      F    G
And she's loving him with that body, I just know it
C        (C)                 Am   F    G       C     G
And he's holding her in his arms, late late at night

Chorus:
                                         (see note at end)
                          G   C         G Am Gsus4 Am Gsus4 (2x)
You know, I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
F     G     C           Am         G
Where can I find her, a woman like that?

Verse 2:

I play along with the charade
There doesn't seem to be a reason to change
You know I feel so dirty when they start talking cute
I want to tell her that I love her but the point is probably moot

Pre-chorus (same as above):

'Cause she's watching him with those eyes
And she's loving him with that body, I just know it
And he's holding her in his arms, late late at night

Chorus:

You know I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find her, a woman like that?

Repeat chorus, last line twice (chords change slightly):
  
Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
F     G     C           F    G    C
