Wait Wait Wait tab

Wait Wait Wait

Credit goes to ely_koptaire for the majority of the tab -
they figured out the chord progression. I have simply added
the picking pattern I use when I play this song. It seems to
be the same all the way through, except a little break where
he strums the last C chord and pauses before continuing with
the picking pattern - listen to the song and you will get
what I mean.

This is my first tab so be nice

PICKING PATTERN:


 C            C           Am         Am

D----0h2----|----0h2----|----0h2---|----0h2----|
A3-------3--|3-------3--|0-------0-|0-------0--|

ALTERNATIVE PICKING PATTERN:
(this is a good alternative for those struggling with the hammer ons
 it is a basic travis picking pattern)

CHORD PROGRESSION


VERSE 1

C                           Am
I don't know where you came from
F                            C
but I do know that I'm not alone
C                          Am
be sure that I love you darling
F                              C
even though sometimes we won't get along

there's not a day that passes by, my dear

that I don't think of the first night we spoke

and those words are staying upon your skin

along with that precious smile of hope


CHORUS

C                            Am
that's why I'm like wait, wait, wait
F                            C
don't you know I could be your home?
C                 Am
I'm like wait, wait, wait
F                      C
cause nobody wants to be alone


VERSE 2 (same as VERSE 1)

lying there on the kitchen floor             

were the last signs of a helpless soul

and she knew that he would die right then

and so she held him until the last breath grew old

and so she cried as her darling slept

in between her arms, slid to the floor

and then she screamed out into the cold, cold night
oh my God, please don't go

CHORUS 2

she was like, wait, wait, wait

I love you more than you know

she was like, wait, wait, wait

I don't wanna be alone

THERE IS THEN A LITTLE BREAKDOWN I AM YET TO FIGURE OUT

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (ahem)

that's why I'm like, wait, wait, wait
