F              Bb
Verse:This land is a lovely green
         Dm                C
      It reminds me of my own home
       F                  Bb
      Such stirring I've seldom seen
       Dm         C
      Even in my own home
       F           Bb
      The sky so bright and clean
       Dm            C
      It is like my home
       F                   Bb
      Kind people as have ever been
                 Dm                 C
      Won't you take me back to my own home

        C                    Bb
CHORUS:Jump up behind me my love

       Jump up behind me
         C                  
       Old Dan can bear us both
        Bb
       Jump up behind me
           C                
       We follow this road 'til we reach the sea
        Bb
       Jump up behind me
              C
       We'll catch the tide and set Dan free
         Bb
       Jump up behind me

       F                  Bb
Verse:I've been in this world awhile
                Dm             C
      And I've seen a lot of country
       F              Bb
      Many days and many miles
            Dm          C
      All various and sundry
            F                   Bb
      I've had my way and I've had my fun
               Dm                C
      And I've had my chance to run free
        F             Bb
      Burning hot beneath the sun
       Dm                C
      Freezing cold and wintry


REPEAT CHORUS

         Dm
Bridge:I know now
        Bb                F
       Only one thing matters in these days X2
         Dm         Bb
       One thing, true love
             F
       Love and love alone
         Dm        Bb-F-Bb-C
       True love

       F                Bb
Verse:I came out of a dream last night
           Dm                  C
      Thought I was back in my old home
       F               Bb
      Mom and Dad were both still alive
        Dm                    C
      And the babies not yet born, no
       F            Bb
      Felt like a festival
        Dm                   C
      Felt like a Christmas morning
         F                Bb
      Felt the darkness fall away
        Dm                   C
      Even as the world was turning

(chorus)

About this song: Jump Up Behind Me

While living in New York City, Taylor became addicted to heroin. One night, after receiving a desperate phone call, his father drove to New York and rescued him. Taylor later wrote a song called "Jump Up Behind Me" that paid tribute to his father's help during a time of desperate need. The song also reflects on Taylor's memories of the long drive from New York City back to his home in Chapel Hill. (Wikipedia)
