2.4 Waiting in the Weeds

Capo: fret 1

(G)It's comin' on the (Em)end of August, (G)Another summer's promise (Em)almost gone
(C)And though I heard some wise man say, (G)That every dog will have his day
He never (F)mentioned that these dog days get (Am)so long(D)
(G)I don't know when I realized (Em)the dream(G) was over  
Well, there was no (Em)particular hour, no given day
You know, it (C)didn't go down in flame  
There was no (G)final scene, no frozen frame
(F)I just watched it slowly fade (Am)away (D)
[Chorus]
And (Em)I've been waiting in (G)the weeds  
Waiting for my (Am)time to come (C)around again and
(Em)Hope is floating on the (G)breeze  
Carrying my (Am)soul high up (C)above the ground and
(Em)I've been keepin' to (G)myself  Knowin' 
that the (Am)seasons are (C)slowly changing
(Em)Even though you're with somebody (G)else  
He'll never love you (Am)like I do(C) ==========
(G)I've been biding time with the (Em)crows and sparrows  
(G)While peacocks prance and strut upon (Em)the stage 
If finding (C)love is just a dance  (G)Proximity and chance
You will (F)excuse me if I skip the (Am)masquerade (D)
[Chorus]
And (Em)I've been waiting in (G)the weeds  
Waiting for the (Am)dust to settle down (C)along the
(Em)Back roads running through the (G)fields  
Lying on the (Am)outskirts of this (C)lonesome town
(Em)And I imagine sunlight in your (G)hair, You're at the county (Am)fair
You're holding (C)hands and laughing, (Em)And now the ferris wheel has (G)stopped
You're swinging on the (Bm)top, Suspended (F#)there with him
(G)And he's the darling of the (D)sheik, The flavor of the (Bm)week is (F#)melting
(G)Down your pretty summer (D)dress, Baby, what a (F#)mess you're making
[Solo]
Bm   A#5+    D   A#5+   
(Bm)I've been stumbling through some (A#5+)dark places        
(D)Now I'm following the (A#5+)plow
(Bm)I know I've fallen out of your (A#5+)good graces  
(Am)It's alright (D)now
(Em)And I've been waiting in the (G)weeds  
Waiting for the (Am)summer rain to (C)fall upon the
(Em)Wild birds scattering the (G)seeds  
Answering the (Am)calling of the (C)tide's eternal tune
(Em)The phases of the (G)moon  
The chambers of (Am)the heart
The egg and (C)dart of small gray  
(Em)Spiders spinning in the (G)dark
In spite of all the (Am)times the web is torn (C)apart
And (Em)I've been waiting in the (G)weeds  
Waiting for the (Am)time to come (C)around again and
(Em)Hope is floating on the (G)breeze  
Carrying my (Am)soul high up (C)above the ground and
(Em)I've been keeping to (G)myself  
Knowing that the (Am)seasons are (C)slowly changing
(Em)Even though you're with somebody (G)else  
He'll never love you like I (Am)do~ (G)
Em    G    Am       C      Em
