Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
x 4
Vs
I said to the river running thru my heart
You got a long way to go until the water part
Come the clouds rollin' in and all the people hide
They say run run baby to the sunnyside
(repeat those chords)
I said to the preacher standing at my door
Why you chasin' a rainbow when you got a star?
He said you're gonna be sorry if you open that lid
I said it's too late daddy I already did
Chrs
Oh Oh don't wait up for me
Oh oh cuz you ain't gonna like what you see
No no no
(the rest of the song is the same thing: for the verse, and the chorus
repeats itself too)
Vs
I looked at the clock and it was quarter to twelve
I started counting the minutes to the freedom bell
I said the midnight hour is gonna take me home
And today's sorry will be here no more
I said
Chrs.
Oh Oh don't wait up for me
Oh on cuz you aint gonna like what you see
No no no
