Sorry about the capo placement, but my cassette player plays
everything fast (about a half-step fast) so where I have to
put my capo to play along isn't necessarily reliable. Just pick
out the bass notes and see where it should go.
(Capo on 2nd or 3rd fret; I can't remember which)
  C*                   C/B           Am7         Am7/G  Fm  
C*                           C/B              Am7  Am7/G  
As we walk together through the autumn nearing winter
Through the Fmdying leaves and trees we call our Chome and native Gland
    C*                           C/B  Am7  
You say you don't believe a thing I say
I say you Am7/Gdon't believe a Fmthing
You say you can't believe that CI don't underGstand
But I Fknow you will be Cwaiting
Oh I Fknow you will be Amwaiting
                   F    GN.C.
Yes I know you will be waiting, waiting there for me
C*                                C/B              Am7  Am7/G  
You Say You Cannot Live With Me, You Need Your Own Identity
And FmNow We Air Our Laundry On CNational TGv
    C*                        C/B                   Am7  Am7/G  
And So You Hate My Arrogance, My Smothering And Sitting On The Fence,
But I'm FmAfraid Of The Hard Permanence Of CLetting You Go GFree
But I Fknow you will be Cwaiting
Oh I Fknow you will be Amwaiting
                   F    GN.C.
Yes I know you will be waiting, waiting there for me
C*                            C/B            Am7  Am7/G  
I'm so sick of fighting and that effigy you're lighting looks
An Fmawful lot like someone whose name CI just can't quite Gplace
    C*                           C/B                Am7   Am7/G  
And though you say it's not supposed to be me or any entity
Still Fmthrough the flames and smoke I see CI recognize that Gface
But I Fknow you will be Cwaiting
Oh I Fknow you will be Amwaiting
