                            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

I didn't write out the strumming rhythm, hopefully you can figure it out
on your own.
