Dm - F - C - G - Dm - F - em - B - C

Dm	   F         C                  G
Did I ever see you? Surely I would have known.
Dm                   F          em                  B - C  
But like a new found father you carried me smilingly home
Dm	               F             C              G
Surely you weren’t the simple boy, I never knew his name.
Dm              F                   em          G     D    Dsus D
I never spoke a word to him but his smile will always remain.


CHORUS:
D   C     G                D                     C    G       D    
Jubilee! Good news for the poor, the acceptable year of the Lord.
D   C     G                D                     C    G       Dm
Jubilee! Good news for the poor, the acceptable year of the Lord.

Dm-F- C-G-Dm-F-em-B-C

Dm	     F           C                   G
Did I ever neglect you?  Surely I would have known.
Dm                F           em               B - C  
But like a loving painter you gave my life its tone
Dm	       	       F          	         C             G
Surely you weren’t the wind-brown father on that barren matted hillside
Dm            F                      em                  G   D 
He could only cry as his barefooted children breathe to stay alive.

Dm 			           G7
Scares me even now to think of the Judgment
Dm                           G
To picture the sheep and the goats
Dm			                  G7
And know that you’re asked: “When did you ever?”
Dm			        G
And I’ll be lost in my dollar bills and notes
Dm 			 G 
Yes, I’ll be lost in my dollar bills and notes
Dm                         G
I’ll be lost in my dollar bills and notes.
Dm                         G 
Yes, I’ll be lost in my dollar bills and notes.

Dm-F- C-G-Dm-F-em-B-C  

Dm	   F           C                    G
Did I ever clothe you? Surely, I would have known.
Dm                     F                Em                   B - C
But like a self strong brother when you fill my pouch as you flow
Dm                    F                   C                 G
Surely you weren’t the poor lost girl who couldn’t find her mother
Dm                  F              em          G             D 
And in taking her hand my soul was melted from one world to another.
Dsus D
And then I knew.

D   C     G            	    D                   C    G       D    
Jubilee! Good news for the poor, the acceptable year of the Lord.
D   C     G                 D                   C    G       D
Jubilee! Good news for the poor, the acceptable year of the Lord.


(Note, I am not certain of the wording in the following lines: 

“He could only cry as his barefooted children breathe to stay alive.”

and 
“But like a self strong brother when you fill my pouch as you flow.”)
