PATTI SMITH (1997, Peace and Noise)
"Waiting Underground"
music by Oliver Ray and Patti Smith
tabbed by Ryan, Sept 22 2006, with a Friday morning hangover...
the guitar part is simple, mostly just A augmentedA minor and D MajorD throughout.
then there's a little break with these chords:

A minorAm D MajorD A minorAm D MajorD A minorAm
if you believe all your hope is gone
D MajorD A minorAm D MajorD A minorAm
down the drain of your humankind
the time has arrived
you'll be waiting here as I was
in a snow-white shroud
waiting underground
A minorAm / D MajorD
*figure 1*
A minorAm / D MajorD
there by the ridge be a gathering beneath the pilgrim moon
where we shall await the beat of your feet hammering the earth
where the great ones tremble
in their snow-white shrouds
waiting underground
A minorAm / D MajorD
*figure 1*
A minorAm / D MajorD
if you seek the kingdom come, come along
waiting by the ridge there'll be a gathering
beneath the pilgrim moon
where the [railroad/or,'rev of'] thunders
oh where we shall await the beat of your feet hammering the earth
and as the earth resounds where the great ones tremble
and your humankind becomes as one
and then we will arise
in our snow-white shrouds
when we'll be as one
but until that day we will just await
in our snow-white shrouds
waiting underground
in our snow-white shrouds
waiting underground
waiting underground
waiting underground
waiting underground
waiting underground
waiting underground
waiting underground
(and just for the fun, the piano part can be played on a second guitar with these chords)
