Waiting for our Time --------------------- As Recorded by Styx Transcribed by Paul Christian w/o permission ----------------------------------------- I figured since my search for the new Styx single was unsuccesful, and since my bassist's dad helped write a song for their comeback album, It's the least I could do to tab it out myself. If that's not enough, the sailing references in the beginning are what really did it. Good old Styx If you have any corrections, feel free to email me.
