G

Sittin on a bench at West Town mall,

                                  C-Csus4

He sat down in his overalls, and asked me,

                  C-Csus4

You waitin on a woman,

G

 I nodded yes n' how bout you,

                           C-Csus4

He said son since 1952, I've been,

             C-Csus4

Waitin on a woman





(chorus)

       Am                               (G)

When I picked her up for our first date,

   F

I told her I'd be there at eight,

     C                  G         C

And she came down the stairs at 8:30,

            Am                        (G)

She said I'm sorry that I took so long,

       F

Didn't like a thing that I tried on,

C                    F                    C

 But let me tell you son she sure looked pretty,

           Dm           C-F

Yea she'll take her time,    but I don't mind,

             C-Csus4= 2x's

Waitin on a woman





(verse 2)

He said the wedding took a year to plan,

You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous,

Waitin on a woman

And he nudged my arm like old men do, and said

I'll say this about the honeymoon, it was worth it,

Waitin on a woman





(chorus)

      Am                            (G)

And I don't guess we'd been anywhere

     F

She hasn't made us late I swear,

    C                       G                C

Sometimes she does it just cause she can do it,

Am                        (G)

Boy it's just a fact of life, 

     F

it's be the same with your young wife,

C                F                  C

Might as well go on and get used to it,

       Dm           C-F

she'll take her time,    cause you don't mind,

              C

Waitin on a woman







( lead - G - C - G - C )









(pre-cho)

     Am                          (G)

I've read somewhere statistics show,

     F

The mans always the first to go,

    C                       G                  C    (C/B)

And that makes sense cause I know she won't be ready,

   Am                          (G)

So when it finally comes my time,

    F

And I get to the other side,

      C             F                C

I'll find myself a bench if they got any,

            Dm           C-F

I hope she takes her time,     cause I don't mind,

              C

Waitin on a woman,

       Dm           C-F

Honey take your time,   cause I don't mind,

                C-Csus4

waitin on a woman,
