Everybodys Waiting

{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
{section: Intro}
[This is the exact pattern for the first four measures; it varies some
 through the song.  Sometimes there's a quick hammer-on from 0 to 2 on
 the B string right before a low E at the beginning of Em measures.]

[Em]  Through the [Em]wind and the r[C]ain I hear my [D11]mother's c[Em]ry  [Em]      [C]         [D11]
She [Em]says,[Em] I know my baby's [C]out there[D11], I just couldn't b[Em]ear to a[Em]sk her w[C]hy[D11]
[Em]  From my w[Em]omb into the w[C]orld,[D11] lord,[Em] I wish the chi[Em]ld would c[C]all [D11]
[Em]  You know I'm [Em]needing some c[C]ompany[D11], she m[Em]akes my l[Em]ife so f[C]ull [D11]
[D11]       [D11]Take my advi[C]ce, [C]    [D11]  go ahead and l[D11]ive your o[C]wn life[C]
[D11]     [D11]     [D11] [tacet]                [Em]   [Em]   [C]   [D11]
  Everybody's waiting for someone to come home

Like the pharaoh waits for the sand
This world is burning with the tension of human hands
Waiting to be cleansed, waiting for their ace of spades
They say, I sure hope he's coming 'cause I feel like I've just been saved
Take my advice, go ahead and live while you're alive
And everybody's waiting for someone to come home

[Em]  [Em]  C (9 fr.)  [D11] ]

[Em]    [Em]Come to m[C]e and cl[C]eanse my s[D11]oul  ([D11]I'm fr[D11]ee,   [D11]I'm fre[Em]e)
[Em]Only w[C]ith you [C]am I wh[D11]ole   [D11](Can't you s[D11]ee that [D11]I am me[Em])
[Em]I'll be w[C]aiting b[C]y the w[D11]indow ([D11]I'll be h[D11]eading f[D11]or the d[Em]oor) [Em]     [C]        [D11]

I was driving down Highway 85, yeah
Had to pull off the road just to hear my radio coming in clearer
Lord, this life's so full [???], I said, why do we ask for more?
Why we waitin' for the man to come, we forgot what he's comin' for
Won't you take my advice, go ahead and live while you're alive
And everybody's waiting for someone to come home

[Em]  [Em]       [C]      [D11]     [Em]    [Em]  [C]  [D11]  [etc...]
   (I'll be waiting by the window)
And everybody's waiting for someone to come home
(I'll be waiting by the window)
Everybody's waiting for someone to come home
Come[Em] home [Em]     [C]        [D11]             [Em]

TAB:

/ and \ are slides up and down.
T=10; E=11; W=12; F=14.
E~~~~ means bend up a half step (from F# to G), then back down to F#.
The notes in parentheses (7,8,9) are softer.
"45" and "EW" are quick hammer-ons; "EWE" is a quick hammer-on followed
   by a quick pull-off.
