Jesse Chords

JESSE - Janis Ian
 
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
(Repeat and fade)
