Jubilee Mary Chapin Carpenter
-------------------------------
[Actually in Bb; capo 3.]
[Mary Chapin's chords are as follows: G=320003, C=332010, D=x00232,
D11=554030, Em=022000, Em7=020000. But for some variety and texture,
try playing G as 320033 and C as x32033 (actually C(9)). And play
some D(9)'s in with the D's.]
[Each chord is half of a 6/8 measure, or a whole 3/4 measure,
depending on how you look at it.]
[G] [intC]ro] [G] [D11] [G] [C] [G] [D11]
[G] [intC]ro] [G] [D11] [G] [C] [G] [D11]
I can [G]tell by the [C]way you're [G]walking[G]
That you [C]don't want [G]compa[D]ny[D]
I'll [G]let you a[C]lone and I'll [G]let you walk on[G]
And in your [C]own good [G]time you'll [D]be[D]
[C]Back where the [G]sun can [Em]find you[Em7]
[C]Under the [G]wise wishing [D]tree[D]
[G]And with all of them [C]made we'll lie [G]under the [G]shade
And [C]call it a [G]jubil[D]ee[D]
And I can [G]tell by the [C]way you're t[G]alking[G]
That the past isn't letting you go [D11 bere]
But there's only so long you can take it all on
And then the wrong's gotta be on its own
And when you're ready to leave it behind you
You'll look back, and all that you'll see
Is the wreckage and rust that you left in the dust
On your [C]way to the [D]jubilee[G] [G]
[G] [insC]trum[G]enta[G]l] [C] [G] [D] [D]
And I can [G]tell by the [D/F#]way you're [C]listening[G/B]
That you're still expecting to hear
Your name being called like a summons to all
Who have failed to account for their doubts and their fears
They can't add up to much without you
And so if it were just up to me
I'd take hold of your hand, saying come hear the band
Play your [C]song at the [D]jubilee[G] [G]
[C] [insG]trum[Em]ental[Em7]] [C] [G] [D] [D]
[G] [insC]trum[G]ental[G]] [C] [G] [D] [D]
And I can [G]tell by the [C]way you're s[G]earching[G]
For something you can't even name
That you haven't been able to come to the table
Simply glad that you came
And when you feel like this try to imagine
That we're all like frail boats on the sea
Just scanning the night for that great guiding light
An[C(9]nouncing the [G]jubi[D]lee[D]
And I can tell by the way you're standing
With your eyes filling with tears
That it's habit alone keeps you turning for home
Even though your home is right here
Where the [C]people who [G/B]love you are [Em]gathered[Em7/D]
Under the wise wishing tree
May we all be considered then straight on delivered
[C]Down to the [G]jubi[D]lee[D]
'Cause the [C]people who [G]love you are [Em]waiting[Em7]
C G D [bold for 1.5 measures, or 3 beats]
And they'll wait just as long as need be
When we [G]look back and [C]say those were [G]halcyon [G]days
We're [C]talking 'bout [D11]jubil[G]ee[G]
[G] [insC]trum[G]enta[G]l] [C] [G] [D] [D]
G C G G C D G G.
