(drop high to open string where appropriate)
Waiting on the day/
When my thoughts are my own/
When this house is my home/
And planes are leaving/
Bmin
Will you be there for me baby?/
Bmin
Will you love me all the way/
Bmin
When you take my side/
In every little fire fight/
Bmin
When you hang your things and stay/
I'm waiting on the day/
When my life on the run/
Reaches out in the sun/
Shows my age/
I'm waiting on the day/
When that voice comes to say/
It's not wrong what you did/
For just a kid/
Bmin
Will you be there for me baby?/
Bmin
Will you love me all the way?/
Bmin
When you take my side,/ In every little fire fight/
Bmin
When you hang your things and stay?/
I'm waiting on the day/
INSTRUMENTAL
Waiting on the day/
When these words are in stone/
When the kids are all grown/
Bmin
And we go dancing/ Oh can you do it baby?/
Bmin
Can you love me all the way?/
Bmin
Will you tie me tight/ In little strands of paradise/
Bmin
Will you walk with me before the morning fades?/

I'm waiting on the day
For the outro of the studio version you essentially play improve on a chord and
alternate between three bass notes (first being Open , Second being 3nd fret of
Open A and third being 2nd fret of Open ). Play around with that and tweak it to
whichever way suits you. Open for suggestions @ bendavidkremer@...gmail.com (minus
the ...) - I've purposefully "dumbed down" the song so that beginners etc would be
able to give it a crack.
Cheers,
Ben
