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[int^Cro] ^G ^D11 ^G ^C ^G ^D11 ^G[int^Cro] ^G ^D11 ^G ^C ^G ^D11

I can ^Gtell by the ^Cway you're ^Gwalking ^G That you ^Cdon't want ^Gcompa^Dny ^D I'll ^Glet you a^Clone and I'll ^Glet you walk on ^G And in your ^Cown good ^Gtime you'll ^Dbe ^D

^CBack where the ^Gsun can ^Emfind you ^Em7 ^CUnder the ^Gwise wishing ^Dtree ^D ^GAnd with all of them ^Cmade we'll lie ^Gunder the ^Gshade And ^Ccall it a ^Gjubil^Dee ^D

And I can ^Gtell by the ^Cway you're t^Galking ^G That the past isn't letting you go [D11 here] 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 ^Cway to the ^Djubilee ^G ^G

^G[ins^Ctrum^Genta^Gl] ^C ^G ^D ^D

And I can ^Gtell by the ^D/F#way you're ^Clistening^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 ^Csong at the ^Djubilee ^G ^G

^C[ins^Gtrum^Emental^Em7] ^C ^G ^D ^D ^G[ins^Ctrum^Gental^G] ^C ^G ^D ^D

And I can ^Gtell by the ^Cway you're s^Gearching ^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 C(9) G D D Announcing the jubilee 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 ^Cpeople who ^G/Blove you are ^Emgathered^Em7/D Under the wise wishing tree May we all be considered then straight on delivered ^CDown to the ^Gjubi^Dlee ^D

'Cause the ^Cpeople who ^Glove you are ^Emwaiting ^Em7 C G D [hold for 1.5 measures, or 3 beats] And they'll wait just as long as need be When we ^Glook back and ^Csay those were ^Ghalcyon ^Gdays We're ^Ctalking 'bout ^D11jubil^Gee ^G
