      G           C(9)       G       G 
I can tell by the way you're walking 
         C(9)       G    D   D 
That you don't want company 
     G        C(9)          G               G 
I'll let you alone and I'll let you walk on 
            C(9)     G           D   D 
And in your own good time you'll be 
  

C(9)           G       Em7      Em7 
Back where the sun can find you 
C(9)      G            D    D 
Under the wise wishing tree 
G                    C(9)           G         G 
And with all of them made we'll lie under the shade 
    C(9)      G    D   D 
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 
        C(9)       D       G  G 
On your way to the jubilee 
  
  
G  C(9)  G   G    C(9)  G   D   D 
{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 
          C(9)        D       G  G 
Play your song at the jubilee 
  
  
C(9)  G  Em7  Em7    C(9)  G   D   D 
{instrumental} 
G  C(9)  G    G      C(9)  G   D   D 
{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 
  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 
  
Where the people who love you are gathered 

Under the wise wishing tree 

May we all be considered then straight on delivered 
C(9)        G   D   D 
Down to the jubilee 
  
  
           C(9)       G            Em7     Em7 
'Cause the people who love you are waiting 
            C(9)         G            D  
And they'll wait just as long as need be 
        G             C(9)           G       G 
When we look back and say those were halcyon days 
      C(9)          D   G   G 
We're talking 'bout jubilee
