Chords with lyrics

[each chord is about half a measure; D11=554030]
INTRO:
[This is the exact pattern for the first four measures; it varies some
through the song. Sometimes there's a quick hammer-on from 0 to 2 on
the 
BB string right before a low 
E MajorE at the beginning of 
E minorEm measures.]

Through the wind and the rain I hear my mother's cry
E minorEm E minorEm C majorC D11D11 E minorEm E minorEm C majorC D11D11
She says, I know my baby's out there, I just couldn't bear to ask her why
E minorEm E minorEm C majorC D11D11 E minorEm E minorEm C majorC D11D11
From my womb into the world, lord, I wish the child would call
E minorEm E minorEm C majorC D11D11 E minorEm E minorEm C majorC D11D11
You know I'm needing some company, she makes my life so full
D11D11 D11D11 C majorC C majorC D11D11 D11D11 C majorC C majorC
Take my advice, go ahead and live your own life
D11D11 D11D11 D11D11 [tacet] E minorEm E minorEm C majorC D11D11
Everybody's waiting for someone to come home
Like the pharaoh waits for the sand
This world is burning with the tension of human hands
Waiting to be cleansed, waiting for their ace of spades
They say, I sure hope he's coming 'cause I feel like I've just been saved
Take my advice, go ahead and live while you're alive
And everybody's waiting for someone to come home
[guitar solo: E minorEm E minorEm C(9) D11D11 ]
E minorEm E minorEm C majorC C majorC D11D11 D11D11 D11D11 D11D11 E minorEm
Come to me and cleanse my soul (I'm free, I'm free)
E minorEm C majorC C majorC D11D11 D11D11 D11D11 D11D11 E minorEm
Only with you am I whole (Can't you see that I am me)
E minorEm C majorC C majorC D11D11 D11D11 D11D11 D11D11 E minorEm E minorEm C majorC D11D11
I'll be waiting by the window (I'll be heading for the door)
I was driving down Highway 85, yeah
Had to pull off the road just to hear my radio coming in clearer
Lord, this life's so full [???], I said, why do we ask for more?
Why we waitin' for the man to come, we forgot what he's comin' for
Won't you take my advice, go ahead and live while you're alive
And everybody's waiting for someone to come home
E minorEm E minorEm C majorC D11D11 E minorEm E minorEm C majorC D11D11 [etc...]
(I'll be waiting by the window)
And everybody's waiting for someone to come home
(I'll be waiting by the window)
Everybody's waiting for someone to come home
E minorEm E minorEm C majorC D11D11 E minorEm
Come home
