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.]

[Verse]
      G           C          G       G
I can tell by the way you're walking
         C          G    D   D
That you don't want company
     G        C             G               G
I'll let you alone and I'll let you walk on
            C        G           D   D
And in your own good time you'll be

C              G       Em       Em7
Back where the sun can find you
C         G            D    D
Under the wise wishing tree
G                    C              G         G
And with all of them made we'll lie under the shade
    C         G    D   D
And call it a jubilee

          G           C           G      G
And I can tell by the way you're talking
         C           G          D11
That the past isn't letting you go
            G       C             G
But there's only so long you can take it all on
              C            G         D
And then the wrong's gotta be on its own

                C        G         Em     Em7
And when you're ready to leave it behind you
        C             G               D
You'll look back, and all that you'll see
       G            C             G           G
Is the wreckage and rust that you left in the dust

        C          D       G   G
On your way to the jubilee

[Instrumental]
G   C   G   G    C   G   D   D

          G           D/F#       C        G/B
And I can tell by the way you're listening
            C        G          D    D
That you're still expecting to hear
     G          C             G          G
Your name being called like a summons to all
         C          G                  D          D
Who have failed to account for their doubts and their fears
           C         G          Em    Em7
They can't add up to much without you
       C             G       D      D
And so if it were just up to me
         G            C            G             G
I'd take hold of your hand, saying come hear the band
          C           D       G   G
Play your song at the jubilee

[Instrumental]
C   G   Em   Em7    C   G   D   D
G   C   G    G      C   G   D   D

          G           C           G        G
And I can tell by the way you're searching
    C             G          D
For something you can't even name
         G            C       G           G
That you haven't been able to come to the table
C      G             D       D
Simply glad that you came

             C              G       Em    Em7
And when you feel like this try to imagine
           C              G            D       D
That we're all like frail boats on the sea
     G            C              G             G
Just scanning the night for that great guiding light
  C(9)         G   D   D
Announcing the jubilee

      G               C          G        G
And I can tell by the way you're standing
          C    G            D        D
With your eyes filling with tears
          G       C             G            G
That it's habit alone keeps you turning for home
     C           G             D     D
Even though your home is right here

          C          G/B          Em      Em7/D
Where the people who love you are gathered
C         G            D        D
Under the wise wishing tree
       G      C               G             G
May we all be considered then straight on delivered
C           G   D   D
Down to the jubilee

           C          G            Em      Em7
'Cause the people who love you are waiting
            C            G            D [hold for 1.5 measures, or 3 beats]
And they'll wait just as long as need be
        G             C              G       G
When we look back and say those were halcyon days
      C             D11  G   G
We're talking 'bout jubilee
