JESSE - Janis Ian
VERSE 1: CEm7/B Jesse come home, there's a hole in the bed where we Edim/BbA7 slept; now it's growing cold. DmDm/C Jesse your face in the place where we lay by the G7CE hearth all apart it hangs on my heart A7Dm and I'm leaving the light on the stairs Dm/CG7CA7 No I'm not scared; I wait for you, hey DmG7C Jessie it's lonely come home
VERSE 2: CEm7/B Jesse the stairs in the halls, recalling Edim/BbA7 Your step; and I remember too. DmDm/C All the pictures are shaded and fading in grey G7CE And I still set a place on the table at noon A7Dm and I'm leaving the light on the stairs Dm/CG7CA7 No I'm not scared; I wait for you, hey DmG7C Jessie it's lonely come home
VERSE 3: CEm7/B Jesse the spread on the bed, Edim/BbA7 It's like when you left, I kept it for you. DmDm/C All the blues and the greens have been recently cleaned G7CE And are seemingly new; hey Jess, me and you. ADm We'll swallow the light on the stairs Dm/CG7C I'll fix up my hair, we'll sleep unawares A7Dm (strum) G7 (strum) Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home
