[Verse 1]
  G
Beneath the shade the hired hands are talking
        G
Down the highway a lonely woman walking
    B7                                 Am
The prisoner of a dream that she's been stuck in
        C              D            G
And I'm waiting for the bus to Tampa Bay

[Verse 2]
         G
There's a map of Osceola and his Raiders
G
Fighting off the Everglades Invaders
  B7                                    Am
He burnt them down, he left them for the gators
            C               D              G
And there's maybe something better down the road

[Verse 3]
     G
I've lost no sleep over where I'm leaving
G
Bit by bit, I slowly stop believing
            B7                      Am
That it was me and only me I was deceiving
        C               D            G
And I'm waiting for the bus to Tampa Bay

[Verse 4]
         G
It was a love but she never would admit it
       G
It was killing her but she did know how to quit it
B7                                     Am
They say there's good work if you can get it
        C               D            G
And I'm waiting for the bus to Tampa Bay
          C               D            G   C G
 Yeah, I'm waiting for the bus to Tampa Bay
