Waiting For The Band Chords - Nicky Hopkins

Verse 1

C/F F The night was black it was the blackest that I've ever seen C/F Bb/F F I stopped a stranger and asked which way to go C/F He slapped me on the back, and then A7 Dm He laughed and then he looked at me Bbm F/A Fdim/Ab Then he said, Sir, you can't get there from here, Gm7 F no, no, no, no

Verse 2

C/F F Without a road I cannot make it back to you C/F Bb/F F Without a light above 1 cannot find the way C/F Turn on your love light A7 Dm Let it shine like a peek and wait, you see me through Bbm F/A Fdim/Ab Cause baby how can I be happy Gm7 F Without you.

Chorus

F Dm/F Dbdim/F Faster my heart is beating, faster and I'm all alone F Dm G Strangers are all around me , no one will tell me where to find a phone Eb Bb F lt's like sitting in the studio waiting for the band to come Eb Bb F Sitting in the studio waiting for the band to come

Verse 3

C/F F And if the band don't come by early in the morning C/F Bb/F F l' II have to find a way to have myself survive C/F Cause if the band don't show A7 Dm by early in the morning Bbm F/A Fdim/Ab Then l' II be over darling, waiting Gm7 F For the band to come

Chorus 2

F Dm/F Dbdim/F Slower, l'm getting slower l've heard these songs so much before F Dm G Lower, I'm sinking lower, pretty soon you'll find me on the floor Eb Bb F Eb Bb F Under the piano waiting for the band to come
