Waiting My Turn by The Connells

off of the One Simple World album

The song is actually played a half step lowere than shown here
but this is the easier way to play it. If you want to play
along then transpose it down a half step.

The opening riff is the bass notes G+G F#F# C majorC C majorC  C majorC  D MajorD G+G
(If you can't get it listen to the song-- that goes for
everything here.)

This same riff is used for the verse but with chords.
Use a full G, full G+G with F#F# bass, Cadd9(?), and D MajorD

Full G:--o-- G+G with F#:--o-- Cadd9:--o--
    --o--      --o--    --o--
    -----      -----    -----
    -----      -----    -o---
    -o---      -----    --o--
    --o--      -o---    -----

The chorus is C majorC G+G D MajorD D MajorD C majorC  G+G  C majorC

The outro is G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G C majorC D MajorD which changes to E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G
after the first time through

Here's the song:

G+G  G/F#  Cadd9Cadd9  D MajorD
I asked her to stay here with me a while, Oh she said no
These words mean nothing these thoughts won't fly, O she said no
And where would this lead us to anyway, O she said no
Well I crossed the line in half the time and that's insane
O she said

C majorC  G+G  D MajorD  D MajorD  C majorC  G+G  D(not C majorC as above)
Hey now keep yourself in town, won't you?
And daylight keep yourself in sight, won't you?

G+G  G/F#  C majorC add9  D MajorD
So I asked her to come back some other time, O she said no
These words ring holloow these thoughts aren't mine, O she said-

C majorC  G+G  D MajorD  D MajorD  C majorC  G+G  C majorC
Hey now keep yourself in town, won't you?
And daylight keep yourself in sight, won't you?

outro:
G+G  C majorC  D MajorD  G+G  C majorC  D MajorD
So I'm sitting here and waiting my turn, Oh well maybe next time
G+G  C majorC D MajorD  E minorEm  C majorC D MajorD  G+G
So I'm sitting here and waiting my turn, Oh well Maybe next time
E minorEm  C majorC  D MajorD G+G E minorEm  C majorC D MajorD G+G
Maybe next time, I will learn, oh yes
Maybe next time I will learn.

Chorus

Outro

The first E minorEm in the outro falls on the Maybe.

Good luck understanding this all. Thanks to Ben Foster for
figuring this out with me.

See ya,

Connels - Waiting My Turn off "One Simple Word"

Capo on 4rd fret and low E MajorE string tuned to D. Chords will be writtin as if the
4th fret was the nut (ie - a D MajorD is an F#F#) The idea during the verses is to let
the base note ring out over the D MajorD chord. I usually hit the bass note by itself
and then play the whole chord.  Also, sometimes I leave out the F#F# on the
first string.
