Waiting in the Weeds by The Eagles
Capo 1st fret
A#aug
xxx332
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G Em
It's comin' on the end of August
G Em
Another summer's promise is almost gone
C
And though I heard some wise man say
G
That every dog will have his day
F Am D
He never mentioned that these dog days get so long
[Verse 2]
G Em
I don't know when I realized the dream was over
G Em
Well, there was no particular hour, no given day
C
You know, it didn't go down in flame
G
There was no final scene, no frozen frame
F Am D
I just watched it slowly fade away
[Chorus]
Em G
And I've been waiting in the weeds
Am C
Waiting for my time to come around again and
Em G
Hope is floating on the breeze
Am C
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
Em G
I've been keepin' to myself
Am C
Knowin' that the seasons are slowly changing
Em G
Even though you're with somebody else
Am C
He'll never love you like I do
[Verse 3]
G Em
I've been biding time with the crows and sparrows
G Em
While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage
C
If finding love is just a dance
G
Proximity and chance
F Am D
You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade
[Chorus]
Em G
And I've been waiting in the weeds
Am C
Waiting for the dust to settle down along the
Em G
Back roads running through the fields
Am C
Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town
Em G
And I imagine sunlight in your hair
Am
You're at the county fair
C
You're holding hands and laughing
Em G
And now the ferris wheel has stopped
Bm
You're swinging on the top
F#
Suspended there with him
G D
And he's the darling of the chic
Bm F#
The flavor of the week is melting
G D
Down your pretty summer dress
F#
Baby, what a mess you're making
[Instrumental]
Bm A#augD A#aug
x2
[Bridge]
Bm A#aug
I've been stumbling through some dark places
D A#aug
Now I'm following the plow
Bm A#aug
I know I've fallen out of your good graces
Am D
It's alright now
[Chorus]
Em G
And I've been waiting in the weeds
Am C
Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the
Em G
Wild birds scattering the seeds
Am C Em
Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune
G
The phases of the moon
Am
The chambers of the heart
C
The ebb and dart of small gray
Em G
Spiders spinning in the dark
Am C
In spite of all the times the web is torn apart
Em G
And I've been waiting in the weeds
Am C
Waiting for the time to come around again and
Em G
Hope is floating on the breeze
Am C
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
Em G
I've been keeping to myself
Am C
Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing
Em G
Even though you're with somebody else
Am C
He'll never love you like I do
[Outro]
Em G Am C
