Verse 1
DG
Outside there’s a box car waiting
ABm
Outside the family stew
DG
Out by the fire breathing
ABm
Outside we wait till face turns blue
DG
I know the nervous walking
ABm
I know the dirty beard hangs
DG
Out by the box car waiting
ABm
Take me away to nowhere plains
Chorus
GAD
There is a wait so long (so long, so long)
GAD
You’ll never wait so long
GAD
Here comes your man
GAD
Here comes your man
Verse 2
DG
Big shake on the box car moving
ABm
Big shake to the land that’s falling down
DG
Is a wind makes a palm stop blowing
ABm
A big, big stone fall and break my crown
Chorus
GAD
There is a wait so long (so long, so long)
GAD
You’ll never wait so long
GAD
Here comes your man
GAD
Here comes your man
Outro
GAD
Here comes your man
