[Intro] 1st time piano only, then:
 
G    D/F#   Am    C
G    D/F#   Am    C
 
 
[Verse]
 
G                     Am           C               G
From a phone booth in Vegas Jessie calls at five a.m.
                     Am     C            G
To tell me how she's tired     of all of them
                         Am               C              G
She says 'Baby I've been thinking about a trailer by the sea
             Am      C                 D
We can go to Mexico: you, the cat, and me
           Em    D              C
We drink tequila   and look for seashells
    Em      D          C
Now doesn't that sound sweet?
Em          D      C
Jessie, you always do this
                           D     C    D    C    D
Every time I get back on my feet
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G                  C               G              C
Jessie, paint your pictures, about how it's gonna be
G                 C            D                Em      D/F#
By now I should know better, your dreams are never free
    G            C               G              C
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea
G              C           D            Em     D
Jessie you can always sell any dream to me
G              C           D            G
Jessie you can always sell any dream to me
 
G    D/F#   Am    C
G    D/F#   Am    C
 
 
[Verse]
 
    G               Am                C                G
She asks me how the cat's been, I say Moses, he's just fine
                   Am      C         G
He used to think about you   all the time
   G                 Am       C            G
We finally took your pictures down off the wall
                  Am             C         D
Jessie how do you always seem to know just when to call?
        Em         D       C
She says: get your stuff together
      Em         D         C
Bring Mose' and drive real fast
    Em        D      C
And listening to her promise
                                     D    C    D    C    D
I swear to God this time it's gonna last
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G                  C               G              C
Jessie, paint your pictures, about how it's gonna be
   G                 C            D                Em      D/F#
By now I should know better, your dreams are never free
    G            C               G              C
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea
G              C           D            G
Jessie you can always sell any dream to me
 
 
[Bridge]
 
  Em       D      C
I love you in the sunshine
        Em          D          C
Lay you down in the warm white sand
    Em        D     C
And who knows maybe this time
                                     D       C   D  C  D
Things may turn out just the way you planned
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G                  C               G              C
Jessie, paint your pictures, about how it's gonna be
   G                 C            D                Em      D/F#
By now I should know better, your dreams are never free
    G            C               G              C
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea
G              C           D            Em     D
Jessie you can always sell any dream to me
G              C           D            G
Jessie you can always sell any dream to me
 
 
[Outro]
 
G    D/F#   Am    C
G    D/F#   Am    C
