[Verse 1]

       E                 B7
I been thinking and been hummin'
       E                 A
I been pickin and I been strumming
     E        B7            E
Just waiting, waiting on a song
                           B7
I been hitching and I been thumbin'
      E               A
I can almost hear one coming
         E        B7            E
I'm just waiting, waiting on a song

[Bridge]

A
I looked down in my pocket
E
Underneath the bed
A
Walked under the lamp post
        E             B7
And one hit me on the head

[Verse 2]

E                         B7
Am I blind or too dumb to see
        E                 A
All the sound surrounding me?
         E        B7            E
I'm just waiting, waiting on a song

[Bridge]

E B7 E A E B7 E

[Verse 3]

                       B7
You can look up at the stars
         E                  A
Bow your head and count the cars
                E        B7            E
You'll still be waiting, waiting on a song
                          B7
Might be a blue bird or a crow
     E                A
On a cord between two poles
             E        B7            E
They're just waiting, waiting on a song

[Bridge]

A
Songs don't grow on trees
          E
You gotta pick em' out the breeze
A
Fall down on your knees
    E              B7
And pray one comes along

[Outro]

           E                   B7
When those railroad gates come down
    E                   A
You gotta stop and turn around
             E        B7            E    A
Or you'll be waiting, waiting on a song
          E        B7           A    C#m B7 E
You'll be waiting, waiting on a song
