Chords

The recommended UG chord shapes are good except play the G6/B with the D on the 5th string: G6/B: x20030 [Intro] C G6/B Gm6/Bb A7 Dm G C [Verse 1]
C                         G6/B
Jesse come home, there's a hole in the bed

         Gm6/Bb                     A7
Where we slept; now it's growing cold

Dm                     G
Jesse your face, in the place where we lay

        G7/B                 C          E
By the hearth, all apart, it hangs on my heart
[Chorus]
A                                Dm   Dm/C
And I'm leaving the light on the stairs

        G           C          A7
No, I'm not scared; I wait for you

    Dm     G            C
Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home
[Verse 2]
C                         G6/B
Jesse the stairs in the halls, recalling

     Gm6/Bb               A7
Your step; and I remember too

Dm                              G
All the pictures are shaded and fading in grey

      G7/B                    C        E
And I still set a place on the table at noon
[Chorus]
A                                Dm    Dm/C
And I'm leaving the light on the stairs

        G           C          A7
No, I'm not scared; I wait for you

    Dm     G            C
Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home
[Interlude] C G6/B Gm6/Bb A Dm G C [Verse 3]
C                      G6/B
Jesse the spread on the bed

                   Gm6/Bb               A7
It's like when you left, I kept it for you

Dm                                     G
All the blues and the greens have been recently cleaned

G7/B                         C            E
And are seemingly new; hey Jess, me and you
[Chorus]
A                                Dm  Dm/C
We'll swallow the light on the stairs

      G              C             A7
I'll fix up my hair, we'll sleep unaware

Dm              G           C
Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home
[Outro] C G6/B Gm6/Bb A7
Dm  G  G7/B  C
