[Intro]
| Em  | Em  |
 
 
[Verse 1]
   Em          G
A lazy rain am I
      D           A   Em
The skies refuse to cry
    Am               Em            D/F#   G    D
Cremation takes its piece of your sup---ply
     Em                    G
The night is dressed like noon
   D       A        Em
A sailor spoke too soon
      Am            Em            D/F#  G    D
And China's on the dark side of the    moon    (Hear me now)
 
 
[Instrumental]
| C   G  | D   E  | G   A  | E  |
 
 
[Verse 2]
  Em            G
Platypus are a few
     D          A   Em
The secret life of Roo
   Am       Em     D/F#    G    D
A personality I never    knew    (Get it on)
     Em            G
My Greta weighs a ton
    D        A       Em
The archer's on the run
     Am             Em           D/F#   G    E/G#
And no one stands alone behind the     sun
 
 
 
[Chorus]
      C           G            D           E
It's been a long time since I made a nеw friend
 G           A            E
Waitin' on another black summer to end
      C           G            D           E
It's been a long timе and you never know when
 D           A            E
Waitin' on another black summer to end
 
 
[Solo]
| Em  | G  | D   A  | Em  | Am  | Em   D/F#  | G  | D  |
 
| Em  | G  | D   A  | Em  | Am  | Em   D/F#  | G  | G  | E/G#  | E/G#  |
 
 
[Bridge]
  Em                G
Crack the flaming whip
     D                 A   Em
Are sailin' on our censorship
 Am                   Em             D/F#   G     D
Riding on a headless horse to make the    trip
 
 
[Chorus]
 C           G            D           E
Been a long time since I made a nеw friend
 G           A            E
Waitin' on another black summer to end
      C           G            D           E
It's been a long timе and you never know when
 D           A            E
Waitin' on another black summer to end
 
 
[Instrumental]
| Em  | G  | D  | Em  |
 
 
[Outro]
           Am                 Em
I've been waitin', I've been waitin'
 D                        A
Waitin' on another black summer to end
           Em                 G
I've been waitin', I've been waitin'
 D                        Em
Waitin' on another black summer to end
           Am                 Em
I've been waitin', I've been waitin'
 D                                       A     Em
Waitin' on another black summer to end
