C G7 C F C
Packed my things and went away a thousand years ago today
G7
For I had places to go and things to see
C G7 C F C
I had a girl who loved me so and she begged me not to go
G7 C
But I left and took her pleading words with me
C7 F C
I'll be waiting always waiting
G7
I love you and I'll miss you while you're gone
C F
I know you have to do what your heart tells you to
C G7 C
So I'll be waiting till it tells you to come home
G7 C F C
All the things I'd hoped to find I soon learned I'd left behind
G7
So I told myself ol boy let's us go home
C G7 C F C
Cause our darling's waiting there and she said she'd always care
G7 C
And the echo of her promise leads me on
C7 F C
I'll be waiting always waiting
F C G7 C
I'll be waiting till your heart tells you come home
C7 F C
I'll be waiting always waiting
Spoken:
Well I got back home today and I almost wished I'd stay away
For I left here with a smile and now I weep
Oh she kept her promise alright and she's waiting here tonight
Still waiting neath the ground where she's asleep
F C G7 C
I'll be waiting till your heart tells you come home
