Wait for the Sun

American Hi-fi
Tab
4.8(4)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

This song can be played in standard tuning or drop d as you don't play the low E string.

Don't look for timing on this tab either as I haven't put it in.

There are also two guitars in American Hi-Fi, and in this tab I'll just put down the

more major parts of the song as most of the second guitar is the same as the first with

more/less notes.

that's the whole song for you, lyrics below.

I don't need to know why

cause tomorrow I'll be fine

I should learn to be still

if I close my eyes

I'd realise what you meant

CHORUS

Don't wait for the sun

it could turn black any day

I lost my head in the clouds

when will this haze go away?

I never wanted this

Now it's all I've got

someone else is keeping time

I think I'm falling apart

if you were me

would you do it like I do?

Chorus

Solo

Don't wait for the sun

it could turn black any day

I lost my head in the clouds

when will this haze go away?

so don't wait for the sun

Don't wait for the sun

Don't wait for the sun

Cause it could turn black any day

You're all that I wanted
