[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.]

intro
SOL DO SOL SOL
I can tell by the way you're walking
DO SOL RE RE
That you don't want company
SOL DO SOL SOL
I'll let you alone and I'll let you walk on
DO SOL RE RE
And in your own good time you'll be
DO SOL MIm MIm7
Back where the sun can find you
DO SOL RE RE
Under the wise wishing tree
SOL DO SOL SOL
And with all of them made we'll lie under the shade
DO SOL RE RE
And call it a jubilee
SOL DO SOL SOL
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
DO RE SOL SOL
On your way to the jubilee
SOL DO SOL SOL DO SOL RE RE
[instrumental]
SOL RE/FA# DO SOL/SI
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
DO RE SOL SOL
Play your song at the jubilee
DO SOL MIm MIm7 DO SOL RE RE
[instrumental]
SOL DO SOL SOL DO SOL RE RE
[instrumental]
SOL DO SOL SOL
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
DO(9) SOL RE RE
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
DO SOL/SI MIm MIm7/RE
Where the people who love you are gathered
Under the wise wishing tree
May we all be considered then straight on delivered
DO SOL RE RE
Down to the jubilee
DO SOL MIm MIm7
'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
SOL DO SOL SOL
When we look back and say those were halcyon days
DO RE11 SOL SOL
We're talking 'bout jubilee
SOL DO SOL SOL DO SOL RE RE

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.]
