intro : E C#m A E C#m A E

F#m D A
i’ve heard about a great big swindle
E B
i read about it in a book
F#m D A
the book flew out the window
E B
was later found by thieves and crooks

C#m
and now
Am
they’re singing hallelujah
Em D
i’m wondering just what did they find
F#m D A
they say “what’s it to ya?”
E B
just take a place in line

F#m
and wait
C#m
so i wait
D
i wait
A
and wait
Asus2 C#m A E
and i . . .

F#m D A
i’m one of a few survivors
E B
i’m a drawer labelled “lost and found”
F#m D A
moon travellers and deep sea divers
E B
whose oxygen supply ran out

C#m Am
now maybe if their gods be willing
Em D
they’ll give us something , fill our empty cups
F#m D A
sit down in the boat , don’t spill it
E B F#m
or we’ll just have to line back up

C#m
and wait
D
so we wait
A
we wait
F#m
yes we wait
C#m
and we wait
D
and we wait
A
we will wait
Asus2 C#m A E
’til we . . .

solo ( C#m A E x4 )

C#m A E
you can hear it in the beat they march to
C#m A E C#m
and you can feel the earth shake when they start to dance
A E
you can tell by the way they move you
C#m A E
it’s not murder , it’s an act of faith , baby

F#m D A
and as the world moves faster
E B
whiplashing us round and round
F#m D A
it’s quite a slow disaster
E B
but people keep on falling down

F#m D A
as they wait
E B
we wait
F#m D A
and we wait
E B
we wait
F#m D A
and we wait
E B
we wait
F#m D A
hallelujah!
E B F#m
