[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
[Instrumental]
