A Million Years ukulele

A Million Years

• C

No capo, standard tuning

C     G  
 Oooooooo
C     D
 Oooooooo

C
A million years she'd been awake
G 
A million years she prayed
C                                 G 
For one familiar soul to help her navigate her way 
C         
She stood agog at the spray of stars 
G
And thought aloud each day: 
     C    D    Em Am 
I've been here so long 
C
Holding on, but 
Am  C       G
Somehow I know 
C                  Am  C  D
I can't be on this planet alone

    C   Em 
And one waits 
C   Em
One waits for me 
C   Em
One waits 
C   Em
One waits for me 
C   Em
One waits 
C                 D
One will wait for me 
               Am                       G
And time's the only lonely curtain in between 


C
And you could be a lion
     G 
Or a buzzard or a bee 
   C 
However soft your symphony, 
     G
I'll know you sing for me 
    C
You too wandered the island 
       G
With a strange name in your throat 
    C    D   Em   Am
And when you come home 

I won't let you go 

Somehow I know 
I can't be on this planet alone 
And one waits 
One waits for me 
One waits 
One waits for me 
One waits 
One will wait for me 
And time's the only lonely curtain in between 

C                 G
Come out, come on out
C              D      G 
Wherever you are...

I hope everyone likes this version, I just love this song and I needed a way to 
play it everywhere I went. I'm not completely sure on the "one waits" parts, I 
experimented a ton with that, so let me know if you have suggestions.
