by Eden Burning 1993 by Eden Burning 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!

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.
