I hope that the chord fingerings below
make sense. I don't know the real names of the chords that I've called
such things as CaddG, but it's a major with the high note added on
the first string and so on. Sorry about the capo placement, but my
cassette player plays everything fast (about a half-step fast) so where
I have to put my capo to play along isn't necessarily reliable. Just pick
out the bass notes and see where it should go.

YOU WILL BE WAITING
(Capo on 2nd or 3rd fret; I can't remember which)
The numbers below denote the fret where the string should be held, not
the finger that should be used. All fingerings are with the capo on.

CaddG C/BaddG
As we walk together through the autumn nearing winter
Through the dying leaves and trees we call our home and native land
CaddG C/BaddG
You say you don't believe a thing I say
I say you don't believe a thing
You say you can't believe that I don't understand
But I know you will be waiting
Oh I know you will be waiting
(pause)
Yes I know you will be waiting, waiting there for me
Other verses are the same, with interludes being either a full or
truncated repetition of the main progression.
BRIDGE:
You were someone who would
CaddG C/BaddG
Always tell me things I don't know
Tell me where to go
(hold on the chord)
There I'll always go
Always go back whether or not you're waiting
CaddG C/BaddG
Ooh well I don't care if you'll be waiting
CaddG C/BaddG
Please say that you will be waiting there for me
Don't you ever leee-eee-eave, please don't leave
