Out of these girls passing ... |G | |C | I'm not waiting ... |G | |C | (return to $ for second verse) I'm just waiting ... 2. A smile relieves ... after second verse, this bridge:) |C |F |C ... on a friend I'm just ... |F |C |F |C just waiting on a friend.... |F |C |F |C I'm just waiting on a friend... (instrumental for 16 bars, just alternating F and C, one measure each, and soloing away, then return to "$" for the last two verses) (repeat bridge, fade instrumental...) This song is excellent fun to play... hope the notation is not too cryptic. Don't forget to emphasize the "C" bass note in the intro and bridge... Here's another hint to help you get that strummed melody at the beginning: C(add9) Dm Fmaj7 e--------------------0--- B-------3-3-3-3---3--1--- G-------0-0-0-0---2--2--- D-------2-2-2-2---3--3--- A-2h3---3-3-3-3------3--- E------------------------ -- jonathan byrd jon@apollo.med.utah.edu >From: wade@hobbes.ucsd.edu (Wade Blomgren) In an article, pat@gsfc.nasa.gov (patrick m. ryan) writes: > > Anyone got chords to this one? I know the first two > chords are Csus2 and F. The first two chords are the Csus2 and a Dm that sneaks in for one strum before the F. Hope this helps. Wade Blomgren wade@hobbes.ucsd.edu -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Waiting on a Friend (Jagger/Richards) gleaned from the album "Tattoo You" by The Rolling Stones (1981): Intro: Csus2 (x4) Dm F {repeat, with "doo doo" vocals, piano solo} Am F G C Watchin girls a-...

Csus2 Dm F {repeat, sax solo followed by ad lib-ish "doo doo"} (repeat "I'm just waiting on a friend" on F) Am F G C Don't need a whore I don't ... G C G C But I need someone I can c... Am F G C Makin love and breakin ... G C G C but I'm not waiting on ... Csus2 Dm F {repeat, more sax solo followed by ad lib "doo doo"} (just waitin on a friend) fade >From: v201lrxa@ubvmsb.cc.buffalo.edu (L'Angelo Misterioso) I don't know the whole song, but I know some bits. Here's the opening: C(add9) F --0-0-0-0--1-----1-------- --3-3-3-3--1-----1-------- --0-0-0-0--2-----2-------- --2-2-2-2--3--x--3--3----- --3-3-3-3-------------2-3- -------------------------- 8 times (I haven't figured out the verse yet) This part is in the bridge, after "I'm just standing in a doorway", and after "I'm just trying to make some sense": C(Add9) C --0-0-0---0- --3-3-3---1- --0-0-0---0- --2-2-2---2- --3-3-3---3- ------------ I hope this is a good start. I play along with the tape, and it sounds accurate.....maybe with a couple transfusions I could figure out the rest :) mike
