  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   C   G   D11     G   C   G   D11

  [intro]

  G   C   G   D11     G   C   G   D11

  [intro]

   

   

        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

  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

          C          D       G   G

  On your way to the jubilee

   

   

  G   C   G   G    C   G   D   D

  [instrumental]

  

  

            G           D/F#       C        G/B

  And I can tell by the way you're listening

  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

            C           D       G   G

  Play your song at the jubilee

  

  

  C   G   Em   Em7    C   G   D   D

  [instrumental]

  G   C   G    G      C   G   D   D

  [instrumental]

  

            G           C           G        G

  And I can tell by the way you're searching

  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

  

            C          G/B          Em      Em7/D

  Where the people who love you are gathered

  Under the wise wishing tree

  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

  

  

  G   C   G   G     C   G   D   D

  WHISTLE SOLO:

  

  [This is a guitar arrangement of the tin whistle solo;

   the ending follows a similar theme, but the notes are

   different.  Improvise.  The A and E strings have been

   left off to save space.]
