Chords for Townes Van Zandt - Waitin' for the day

_ _ _ _ _ Well, [Gm] I no _ [Ebm] longer [Eb] can recall _ [Ab] all the times you made me [Eb] crawl, _ all the times you [Ebm] made
me hang my head and [Bb] cry.
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb]
But still the teardrops fall.
_ [Ab] _
Lord, what's [Eb] worst of all?
_ [Bb]
I just ain't got the nerve to say [Ab] goodbye.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Ab]
I'm waiting for the day when [Eb] I can hide my love away, _ _ and stand up like a man so [Bb] tall and free.
_ _ _ _ Then [Ab] you'll be the one to say, [Eb] well, darling, can't [Cm] you stay?
_ _ [Bb]
I don't know what I'd do if [Ab] you should leave [Eb] me. _ _ _ _
_ _ Oh, girl, I don't know why you [Ab] always have [Eb] to try to hurt me.
You make me feel [Bb] ashamed. _ _ _
_ Oh, [Eb] but someday, by and by, you're gonna [Ab] be the one [Eb] to cry and [Bb] walk the floor and sadly
call [Ab] my name.
_ [Eb] _
_ Oh, [Ab] I'm waiting for the day _ when I can hide my love away, and stand up like a man so tall

stay?
_ [Bb] I don't know what I'd do if you should [Ab] leave me.
_ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Oh, but it looks like until then, _ _ [Ab] I'll throw pride to [Eb] the wind and _ try to make believe
that I don't [Bb] know _ _ _ _ _ that a day is coming when you [Ab] won't do me wrong [Eb] again, _ _ and I will be
the one to [Ab] turn and go.
