HARDY - Wait In The Truck
Tune your guitar to double Drop C - CGCFAC
(aka double drop D tuned down a full step)
[Intro]
D5 Cadd9 G/B
D5 Cadd9 G/B
[Verse 1]
D5
I got turned around in some little town
Cadd9 G/B
I'd never been to before
D5
Working my way through a middle-of-June
Cadd9 G/B
Midnight thunderstorm
D5
There was something in the headlights
Cadd9 G/B
It stopped me on a dime
D5
Well, she was scared to death, so I said
Cadd9 G/B
Climb in and then she climbed
D5 Cadd9 G/B
Ohh, ohh ohh yeah
[Verse 2]
D5
Well, she was bruised and broke from head to toe
Cadd9 G/B
With a tear in her blood-stained shirt
D5
She didn't tell the whole truth but she didn't have to
Cadd9 G/B
I knew what had happened to her
D5
I didn't load her down with questions
Cadd9 G/B
That girl had been through enough
D5
I just threw it in drive, looked in those eyes
Cadd9 G/B
And I asked her where he was
[Chorus]
D5
I don't know if he's an angel
Cadd9 G/B
'Cause angels don't do what he did
D5
He was hellbent to find the man behind
Cadd9 G/B
All the whiskey scars I hid
D5
I never thought my day of justice
Cadd9 G/B
Would come from a judge under a seat
D5 Cadd9
But I knew right then I'd never get hit again
G/B
When he said to me
D5
Wait in the truck
Cadd9 G/B
Just wait in the truck
[Verse 3]
D5
Well, I knocked and knocked and no one came
Cadd9 G/B
So I kicked in his double-wide door
D5
I let the hammer drop before he got
Cadd9 G/B
To that twelve he was reaching for
D5
I didn't try to hide my pistol
Cadd9 G/B
I didn't even try to run
D5
I just sat on the porch, smoking one of his cigarettes
Cadd9 G/B
And waited for the cops to come
[Chorus]
D5
I don't know if he's an angel
Cadd9 G/B
'Cause angels don't do what he did
D5
He was hellbent to find the man behind
Cadd9 G/B
All the whiskey scars I hid
D5
I never thought my day of justice
Cadd9 G/B
Would come from a judge under a seat
D5 Cadd9
But I knew right then I'd never get hit again
G/B
When he said to me
D5
Wait in the truck
Cadd9 G/B
Just wait in the truck
[Post-Chorus]
D5
Whoa oah (whoa)
Cadd9 G/B
Have mercy on me, Lord
D5
Have mercy on me
Cadd9 G/B
Have mercy on me-e (hey), Lord
[Bridge]
D5
It's been sixty months and she still comes
Cadd9 G/B
To see me from time to time
D5
It was worth the price, to see a brighter side
Cadd9 G/B
Of the girl I picked up that night
D5
And I might be here forever
Cadd9 G/B
It ain't paradise, that's true
D5
But it's a whole hell of a lot better
Cadd9 G/B
Than the place I sent him to, yeah
[Outro]
D5
(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me)
Cadd9
Wait in the truck (have mercy on me)
G/B D5
Just wait in the truck
(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me)
Cadd9
Wait in the truck (Lord, have mercy)
G/B D5
Just wait in the truck
Cadd9
(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me)
G/B D5
Lord, have mercy on me
Cadd9
(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me)
G/B
Lord
D5
(Have mercy on me)
Cadd9 G/B
(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me
D5
Wait in the truck
Cadd9 G/B
Just wait in the truck
D5 Cadd9 G/B
(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me)
D5
Wait in the truck
Cadd9 G/B D5
Just wait in the truck (have mercy)

Correction to above! Tune down only half step, then drop D tuning…. C#G#C#F#A#C#.

Excellent! This is actually pretty much as I figured it out as well, except I used double drop D tuning (also called drop C tuning when tuned down a full step, or CGCFAC) and for me it sounds just like the song (the video anyway). In this tuning instead of a D major chord I play a D5 with open bottom E string. I think he sticks with the D5, Cadd9, and G/B chords all the way through. (I don't know how you would play those G major or F major chords with that tuning...). These are just my suggestions for consideration - great tab!!

so this is really good, I would suggest a couple of things, this is what I hear, with the tuning suggestion C#G#C#F#A#C#
first I would puck 1st string, 2nd string then hold 4th string-2nd fret and 5th string-3rd fret and pick 1st and 2nd string then chord 3rd, 4th, and 5th string as a chord (2 times). 3rd chord, pick 2nd string-3rd fret and 3rd sting open then chord 3-4-5 as before, 4th chord, pick 2nd string 2nd fret, 3 string open, then chord 3, 4, and 5 strings with only 3rd fret 5th string.. what do you think?
