I Can Wait

Deep Blue Something
Tab

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

VERSE

The chord marked "A" can be replaced with the E-|-555555-|

baseline as performed in the intro. This is the way it's

played in the song. Just for the first verse.

E A

I fear I can't go on, she said,

E A

I think I would be better dead.

E A

She knelt, she cried, and I held her heard.

E A

I thought I knew what she was feeling.

(Guitar 1 plays E A pattern)

VERSE

A cold and wet November's day.

We lowered her into a grave,

I'd never seen her look so brave.

Now worms consume her body...

CHORUS

And I... I can't wait

And I... I can't wait
