Verse 1:
G+G           D MajorD       C majorC
She grew up tall in a timber town,
                        G+G      C majorC
Where trees were not the only things that were fallin’ down
                      E minorEm       A minorAm
The breezes through the pines were blowin’ bittersweet
               D MajorD         G+G
They blew the papers down the dead-end street

Verse 2:
G+G                  D MajorD         C majorC
She married a boy as soon as she got out of school
             G+G       C majorC
But he turned out to be a reckless fool
                E minorEm       A minorAm
Gone are the days when she was worry-free
                  D MajorD
Now she’s a single mom; she’s only twenty-three

Chorus 1:
     G+G             B minorBm         C majorC
And she’s waiting tables, she’s just  waiting tables
                         A minorAm       D MajorD
She’s learned a lot about people - more than she  ever wanted to know
      G+G        B minorBm          C majorC
She’s just waiting tables,  waiting tables
               D MajorD         G+G
Biding her time until there’s somewhere else to go

Verse 3:
     G+G                D MajorD
When her workin’ day is done, she tallies up her tips
        C majorC               G+G
And she sighs, "Dear Lord above, there must be more than this."
  C majorC                 E minorEm
Someday she’ll see this misery in her  rear-view mirror
     A minorAm               D MajorD
But for today she’ll find a way to get a-long right here

Chorus 2:
     G+G             B minorBm         C majorC
And she’s waiting tables, she’s just  waiting tables
                         A minorAm       D MajorD
She’s learned a lot about people - more than she  ever wanted to know
      G+G        B minorBm          C majorC
She’s just waiting tables,  waiting tables
               D MajorD         G+G
Biding her time until there’s somewhere else to go

Bridge:
Bm7Bm7              E minorEm     Bm7Bm7                E minorEm
  One rainy night, a handsome man came in,  Said he was bound for parts un-known
Bm7Bm7                 C majorC       A minorAm                D MajorD
  They talked and talked until the moon went down, But in the mornin’ he was gone

Chorus 3:
G+G             B minorBm        C majorC             A minorAm
Waiting tables, she’s just waiting tables, Another year or two and she’ll be movin’ on
D MajorD     G+G         B minorBm         C majorC
She’s just  waiting tables,  waiting tables,
                D MajorD       G+G
Holding her own till somethin’ better comes a-long
              B minorBm         C majorC
Waiting tables, she’s just  waiting tables,
                D MajorD       G+G
Biding her time till somethin’ better comes a-long
