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

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:
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
