Waiting in the weeds
Capo I Intro G5
G2 G G2 G Em7 Em7 G2 G G2 G Em7
It's comin’on the end of August another summer's promise almost gone
Em7 C9 G
And thought I heard some wise men say that every dog will have his day
F Am D
He never mentioned that these dog days get so long
G9 Em7
I don't know when I realized the dream was over
G9 Em7
Well, there was no particular hour, no given day
C9 G
You know it didn't go down in flame, there was no final scene, no frozen frame
F9 Am D
I just watched it slowly fade away
Chorus:
Em G Am C
And I've been waiting in the weeds waiting for my time to come around again and
Em G Am C
Hope is floating on the breeze carrying my soul high up above the ground
Em G Am C
And I've been keeping to myself knowing that the seasons are slowly changing (Em) you
Em G Am C
And though you're with somebody else He'll never love you like I do
D4 G9 Em7 G9
I've been biding time with crows and sparrows while peacocks prance
Em7 C9
And strut upon the stage. If finding love is just a dance,
G F9 Am D
Proximity and chance You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade.
Em G Am C
And I've been waiting in the weeds Waiting for the dust to settle down
Em G
Along the back roads, running through the fields
Am C Em G
Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town and I imagine sunlight in your hair
Am C
you're at the county fair, You're holding hands and laughing
Em G Bm
And now the Ferris Wheel has stopped, you're swinging on the top
F#7 G D
suspended there with him And he's the darling of the chic,
Bm F#7 G D
the flavor of the week is melting down your pretty summer dress
F#7 Bm A#+ D Bm A#+ D
baby what a mess you're making
Bm A#+ D A#+
I've been stumbling though some dark places but I'm following the plow
Bm A#+ Am
I know I've fallen out of your good graces
D
But it's all right now.
Em G Am C
And I've been waiting in the weeds waiting for the summer rain to fall
Em G
Upon the wild birds, scattering the seeds,
Am C Em
Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune,
G Am C
The phases of the moon, the chambers of the heart, the egg and dart
Em G Am
Of small, gray spider spinning in the dark In spite of all the times
C
the web is torn apart.
Em G Am C
And I've been waiting in the weeds waiting for my time to come around again and
Em G Am C
Hope is floating on the breeze carrying my soul high up above the ground
Em G Am C
And I've been keeping to myself knowing that the seasons are slowly changing (Em) you
Em G Am C
And though you're with somebody else He'll never love you like I do
Em G Am C (4 times )
