{t:Waiting on a Friend}
{st:The Rolling Stones}
{c:Intro:}
[C] [F] [C] [F]
[Am] Watchin' girls go pass[F]ing by [G] It ain't the latest thing[C]
I[G]'m just standin' in a doorw[C]ay
I[G]'m just trying to make some sense[C]
{c:$}
1. [Am]Out of these girls pass[F]ing by, t[G]he tales they tell of me[C]n
I[G]'m not waiting on a la[C]dy
I[G]'m just waiting on a friend [C] (return to $ for second verse)
2. A smile relieves a heart that grieves,
remember what I said.
I'm not waiting on a lady,
I'm just waiting on a friend.
(after second verse, this bridge:)
... on a friend[C] I'm[F] just waiting on a f[C]riend
[F]just waiting on a f[C]riend. I'm[F] just waiting on a f[C]riend,
I'm j[F]ust waiting on a f[C]riend, [F] just waiting on a [C]friend
{sot}
(instrumental for 16 bars, just alternating F and C, one measure each, and
soloing away, then return to "$" for the last two verses)
{eot}
3. Don't need a whore, don't need now booze,
don't need a virgin priest.
But I need some one I can cry to,
I need someone to protect.
4. Ooh, making love and breaking hearts,
It is a game for youth.
But I'm not waiting on a lady,
I'm just waiting on a friend.
(repeat bridge, fade instrumental...)
