"Waiting on a Friend"

Jagger/Richards


|C    |F    |C    |F     ;(intro; repeat to taste)

(don't forget to play only the C bass note)

(for the first beat of the first/third meas.)


|Am                     |F            |G                         |C

Watchin' girls go passing by         It ain't the latest thing


|G            |            |C           |

I'm just standin' in a doorway


|G            |                   |C          |

I'm just trying to make some sense

|Am                           |F       |G                      |C

1. Out of these girls        passing by, the tales they tell of men


|G          |         |C          |

I'm not waiting on a lady


|G          |               |C       |  (return to $ for second verse)

I'm just waiting on a friend


2. A smile relieves a heart that grieves,

remember what I said.

I'm not waiting on a lady,

I'm just waiting on a friend.


(after second verse, this bridge:)


|C        |F                  |C

... on a friend       I'm just waiting on a friend


|F                 |C               |F                  |C

just waiting on a friend.        I'm just waiting on a friend,


|F                |C        |F                 |C

I'm just waiting on a friend,     just waiting on a friend


(instrumental for 16 bars, just alternating F and C, one measure each, and

soloing away, then return to "$" for the last two verses)



3. Don't need a whore, don't need now booze,

don't need a virgin priest.

But I need some one I can cry to,

I need someone to protect.


4.  Ooh, making love and breaking hearts,

It is a game for youth.

But I'm not waiting on a lady,

I'm just waiting on a friend.


(repeat bridge, fade instrumental...)


This song is excellent fun to play... hope the notation is not too cryptic.

Don't forget to emphasize the "C" bass note in the intro and bridge...


Here's another hint to help you get that strummed melody at the

beginning:


C(add9)C(add9) Piano Chord 
  DmDm Piano Chord

B-------3-3-3-3---3--1---

G-------0-0-0-0---2--2---

:       Anyone got chords to this one?  I know the first two

: chords are Csus2 and F.


The first two chords are the Csus2 and a Dm that sneaks in

for one strum before the F.


Hope this helps.

(I haven't figured out the verse yet)


This part is in the bridge, after "I'm just standing in a doorway", and

after "I'm just trying to make some sense":

--0-0-0---0-

--3-3-3---1-

--0-0-0---0-

--2-2-2---2-

I hope this is a good start. I play along with the tape, and it sounds

accurate.....maybe with a couple transfusions I could figure out the rest :)
