Waiting On A Friend

"Waiting on a Friend"
The Rolling Stones
 
 

|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

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

|G          |         |C          |

I'm not waiting on a lady
 
 

|G          |               |C       |

I'm just waiting on a friend
 
 

 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
 

 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.
 
 

  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.
