Jubilee Street — Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
Chords and lyrics for Jubilee Street by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds (key of C).
Verse 1
[C]On [A]Jubilee street there was a [G]girl named [E]Bee
[C]She had a [A]history, but she [G]had no [E]past
[C]When they shut her down the [A]Russians moved in
Now I am too [G]scared to even [E]walk on past
She used to say:
All [C]those good people down on [A]Jubilee Street
They ought to [G]practice what they [E]preach
Verse 2
[C]But here I come up the hill
[A]pushing my [G]wheel of [E]love
I got [C]love in my tummy and a [A]tiny little pain
And a [G]ten ton catastrophe on a [E]60 pound chain
[C]pushing my [A]wheel of love up [G]Jubilee [E]Streets
Verse 3
The [C]problem was she had a [A]little black book
And my name was [G]written on every [E]page
[C]A girl's gotta [A]make ends meet
Even on [G]Jubilee [E]Street
I was out of [C]place and time,
and over the hill, and [A]out of my mind
On [G]Jubilee [E]Street
I [C]oughta have [A]practice [G]what I [E]preach
These [C]days I go downtown in my [A]tie and tails
I got a [G]foetus on the [E]leash
Verse 4
I am [C]alone now, I am [A]beyond recriminations
[G]Curtains are [E]shut, [C]furniture has gone
I am [A]transforming, I am [G][E]vibrating, I am [C]glowing
I am [A]flying, [G]look at me [E][C]now[E][G][A]
