WAITING FOR MY REAL LIFE TO BEGIN- Colin Hay
Standard tuning, Capo 4
*NOTE TO THE PLAYERS*
As far as this song goes, the available tabs are either accurate and ugly, or
inaccurate and pretty =\ So I thought I'd make as accurate and pretty a tab as
I could for you =) Please note that regardless of what I called these chords,
they all hold 3 on the B and e strings, except for the D chords throughout, and
the marked Em near the end of the song. Enjoy!!
