Jump Little Children (JLC or Jump) was formed in 1991 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Known for their unique sound, energetic live performances, and willingness to interact with fans, the band built a strong following over their fourteen years. They played their final show on December 30, 2005 in their adopted hometown of Charleston, South Carolina.
The band's name is taken from a song by blues musicians Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CATHEDRALS - Jump, Little Children ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Eric K. Brookins Email:[email protected]
Jump, Little Children is a highly underappreciated band and Cathedrals is an incredible song. I found several tabs and chords for this song online, but many of them didn't seem quite right, but this seems to match up well with what they play on Magazine. Enjoy.
Verse 1: ========= EbF/Eb In the shadows of tall buildings Bb/DEb Of fallen angels on the ceilings EbM7F/Eb Oily feathers in bronze and concrete Bb/DG7 Faded colors, pieces left incomplete CmF/ABb The line moves slowly past the electric fence G7 Across the borders, between continents
Chorus: ======== CmF/ABb In the cathedrals of New York and Rome EbCm There is a feeling that you should just go home
And spend a lifetime F/A Finding out just where that is
EbF/EbEbEbM7F/Eb
Verse 2: ========= EbF/Eb In the shadows of tall buildings Bb/DEb The architecture is slowly peeling EbM7F/Eb Marble statues and glass dividers Bb/DG7 Someone is watching, all of the outsiders CmA/F The line moves slowly through the numbered gate BbG7 Past the mosaic of the head of state
< Play Chorus again >
Verse 3: ========= EbF/Eb In the shadows of tall buildings Bb/DEb Open arches endlessly kneeling EbM7F/Eb Sonic landscapes echoing vistas Bb/DG7 Someone is listening from a safe distance CmF/A The line moves slowly into a fading light BbG7 A final moment in the dead of night
