Jesse Ukulele chords by Ian Janis

Verse 1:
G
Jesse come home
        Bm
There's a hole in the bed
     G7
Where we slept
         E7
Now it's growing cold.
Am
Jesse, your face
    D7
In the place where we lay
    G
By the hearth, all apart
B7
It hangs on my heart.

Chorus:
    E7            Am
And I'm leaving the light on the stairs.
       D7         G  E7
No
I'm not scared - I wait for you.
  Am     D7      G
Hey Jesse
It's lonely, come home.

Verse 2:
G             Bm
Jesse, the floors and the boards
        G7
Recalling your step
        E7
And I remember, too.
    Am
All the pictures are fading
  D7
And shaded in grey
   G
But I still set a place
    G7    B7
On the table at noon.

Chorus:
    E7            Am
And I'm leaving the light on the stairs.
       D7         G  E7
No
I'm not scared - I wait for you.
  Am     D7      G
Hey Jesse
It's lonely, come home.

Instrumental:
G Bm G7 E7 Am D7 G G7 B7 E7 D7 G E7 Am D7 G

Verse 3:
G            Bm
Jesse, the spread on the bed
         G7
Is like when you left
           E7
I've kept it all for you.
      Am
And all the blues and the greens
     D7
Have been recently cleaned
    G
And are seemingly new.
  G7      B7
Hey Jess, me and you
Chorus:
   E7            Am
We'll swallow the light on the stairs.
        D7
I'll fix up my hair.
      G    E7
We'll sleep unaware.
   Am     D7      G
Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home.
