Here is a song written by Jesse that was
inspired by his fourteen year old daughter.
Another example of his insightful and
sensitive lyrical ability.
Hope you enjoy it.

It Takes A Young Girl [Key of E--3/4 tempo]
Words and Music by Jesse Winchester
[E] It takes a [E] young girl to make an
[B7] old man [E] smile. [Esus]
[E] It takes a [E] young girl to make an
[G#7] old man [A] fly.
[CHORUS]
[A] Why should it [B7] take always a
[E] young [C#m] girl to [A] move this
old [B7] heart of [E] mine. [B7]
It would take an [E] old man too
[B7] long to ex-[E] plain.[Esus]
[E] How a young girl plays
an [G#7] old, old [A] game. But that's just
how it [B7] is first she's yours and then
she's [C#m] his and that's [E]always,
[B7]always the [E] same. [B7]
It's been [E] ten long [B7] years since
I've [E] cried. It's been [E] five, I know
[G#7] five since I've even [A] tried.
Now [A] why should it [B7] take always a
[E] young [A] girl to [E] move this old
[B7] heart of [E] mine. But. . .
[CHORUS]
