{intro} 
  
  
      G5           C5       G5       G5 
I can tell by the way you're walking 
         C5       G5    D5   D5 
That you don't want company 
     G5        C5          G5               G5 
I'll let you alone and I'll let you walk on 
            C5     G5           D5   D5 
And in your own good time you'll be 
  

C5           G5       E5      E5 
Back where the sun can find you 
C5      G5            D5    D5 
Under the wise wishing tree 
G5                    C5           G5         G5 
And with all of them made we'll lie under the shade 
    C5      G5    D5   D5 
And call it a jubilee 
  
And I can tell by the way you're talking 

That the past isn't letting you go 

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 
        C5       D5       G5  G5 
On your way to the jubilee 
  
  
G5  C5  G5   G5    C5  G5   D5   D5 
{instrumental} 
  
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 
          C5        D5       G5  G5 
Play your song at the jubilee 
  
  
C5  G5  E5  E5    C5  G5   D5   D5 
{instrumental} 
G5  C5  G5    G5      C5  G5   D5   D5 
{instrumental} 
  
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 
  C5         G5   D5   D5 
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 people who love you are gathered 

Under the wise wishing tree 

May we all be considered then straight on delivered 
C5        G5   D5   D5 
Down to the jubilee 
  
  
           C5       G5            E5     E5 
'Cause the people who love you are waiting 
            C5         G5            D5  
And they'll wait just as long as need be 
        G5             C5           G5       G5 
When we look back and say those were halcyon days 
      C5          D5   G5   G5 
We're talking 'bout jubilee
