I think the chords are wrong on the tab. This is what I came up with.

JESSE - Janis Ian
VERSE 1:
C Em7/B
Jesse come home, there's a hole in the bed where we
Edim/Bb A7
slept; now it's growing cold.
Dm Dm/C
Jesse your face in the place where we lay by the
G7 C E
hearth all apart it hangs on my heart
A7 Dm
and I'm leaving the light on the stairs
Dm/C G7 C A7
No I'm not scared; I wait for you, hey
Dm G7 C
Jessie it's lonely come home

VERSE 2:
C Em7/B
Jesse the stairs in the halls, recalling
Edim/Bb A7
Your step; and I remember too.
Dm Dm/C
All the pictures are shaded and fading in grey
G7 C E
And I still set a place on the table at noon
A7 Dm
and I'm leaving the light on the stairs
Dm/C G7 C A7
No I'm not scared; I wait for you, hey
Dm G7 C
Jessie it's lonely come home
VERSE 3:
C Em7/B
Jesse the spread on the bed,
Edim/Bb A7
It's like when you left, I kept it for you.
Dm Dm/C
All the blues and the greens have been recently cleaned
G7 C E
And are seemingly new; hey Jess, me and you.
A Dm
We'll swallow the light on the stairs
Dm/C G7 C
I'll fix up my hair, we'll sleep unawares
A7 Dm (strum) G7 (strum)
Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home
