Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
Csus2 C G Bb A G

Verse 1:
C
Jesse come home
           Em
There's a hole in the bed
           A7
Where we slept
     Bb            A   A7
Now it's growing cold.
      Dm
Hey Jesse, your face
         G7
In the place where we lay
         Dm
By the hearth, all apart,
     C           E7
It hangs on my heart.

Chorus:
          A7                       Dm
And I'm leaving the light on the stairs.
            G7                   C   A7
No, I'm not scared - I wait for you.
     Dm        G7            C
Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home.

Verse 2:
C                           Em
Jesse, the floors and the boards
                A7
Recalling your step
    Bb           A   A7
And I remember, too.
         Dm
All the pictures are fading
      G7
And shaded in grey
       Dm
But I still set a place
        C        E7
On the table at noon.

Chorus:
          A7                       Dm
And I'm leaving the light on the stairs.
           G7                   C   A7
No I'm not scared - I wait for you.
     Dm         G7           C
Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home.

Instrumental:
G  Gm  D  A7  G

Verse 3:
C                        Em
Jesse, the spread on the bed
                  A7
Is like when you left
      Gm              A   A7
I've kept it all for you.
             Dm
And all the blues and the greens
          G7
Have been recently cleaned
             Dm
And they're seemingly new.
     C            E7
Hey Jess, me and you,

Chorus:
       A7                        Dm
We'll swallow the light on the stairs.
             G7
We'll do up my hair.
                Csus2   A7
We'll sleep unaware.
     Dm         G7           C
Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home.

Outro:
C  A7  Dm  G  C
