[Verse 1]
    Am                   Dm            F
Standing by the wayside, begging for a ride
       Am         Dm               Am
I been waiting so long, a year has gone
                        Dm              F
Look at all the people, strangers every one
          Am         Dm               Am    Dm Am   Dm Am N.C.
I've been looking so long, a year has gone
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am                          Dm               F
You were all I lived for, I guess my life is through
          Am        Dm               Am
I've been living so long, I can't go on
                       Dm                F
Lonely Sunday morning, rest in peace, my love
         Am          Dm               Am    Dm Am   Dm Am N.C.
You been sleeping so long, a year has gone
 
 
[Bridge]
A                         A7
How could I ever start to tell you
    D             Dm
The end is almost here?
    A               D       Dm    A
The song of love is ringing in my ears
                      A7
Playing loud, playing clear
    D               Dm
The song will never change
    A           D      Dm    A
The memory will always be so near
