Jessie's Girl
by Rick Springfield, from the album "Working Class Dog"
lead sheet by Bob Brockman, (brockman@udayton.edu), re-formatted with minor changes by John Crooks
Notes
Bob Brockman originally transposed this song to C to make it easier to play with open chords, but here the song is notated in D, the key of the original recording.  

For the pre-chorus, play a D chord against the notated chords if you have a second guitar.

For the chorus, use the following chord shapes:

    A  D                 A   Bm    Asus4 Bm    Asus4
   |1  &  2  &  3  &  4  &  |1  &  2  &  3  &  4  &  |
  e|------------------------|------------------------|
  B|---7-----7-----7--------|------------------------|
  G|---7-----7-----7--------|7-----7-----7-----7-----|
  D|7--7-----7-----7-----7--|9-----7-----9-----7-----|
  A|7--5-----5-----5-----7--|9-----7-----9-----7-----|
  E|5--------------------5--|7-----------------------|

For the first twelve bars of the bridge, one guitar plays the chords indicated while everybody else stays at G.  For these twelve bars, you might use the following chord shapes:
 
    G           D        A
   |1  &  2  &  3  &  4  &  |1  &  2  &  3  &  4  &  |
  e|7-----------10-------9--|------------------------|
  B|8-----------10-------10-|------------------------|
  G|7-----------11-------9--|------------------------|

|D      A    Bm     |G  A  D
 Jessie is a friend,
        |D        A      Bm   |G     A  D
Yeah I know, he's been a good friend of mine
    |D     A           Bm                |G      A D
But lately something's changed, it ain't hard to define
         |D      A      Bm         |G     A        D
Jessie's got himself a girl, and I wanna make her mine
Pre-Chorus
          |D            A         Bm     |G  A  D
And she's watching him with those eyes,
          |D           A        Bm     |G   A      D
And she's loving him with that body, I just know it,
         |D            A      Bm  |G    A      D
And he's holding her in his arms, late late at night
Chorus
|A                           |A  D          A |Bm Asus4  
  You know, I wish that I had Jessie's girl,
  Bm        Asus4|A  D          A |Bm Asus4 Bm Asus4 
I wish that I had Jessie's girl,
|G      A     D          |Bm         A
  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.

  And I'm looking in the mirror all the time,

  Wondering what she don't see in me

  Yeah I've been funny I've been cool with the lines
|G        D                 |A
