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.
