I'd Be Waiting Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Ref. I'd be waiting- waiting
for a [F]lifetime I'm [G]sure
Said [Am]I - I'd be waiting-
waiting for a [F]lifetime and [G]more

[Verse 2]
If that [Am]serious alliance lies [G]ahead
Let [Dm]every necessary word
be [Am]said
Remembering the blood
that we've [G]shed
Keep [Dm]it mind that there
are things we must forget
[Am]

[Verse 3]
Beware [Am]of tragedy

Don't al[Dm]low hell on earth to ent[Am]er
Get rid off all the damage in your [G]head
Re[Dm]member there's an enemy in your [Am]bed

[Verse 4]
for sure
But then [G]wishes and hopes

It's [Dm]you for sure, out of the [Am]blue for sure
It's [G]you for your pas
[Dm]t rich and poor towards
That [Am]hard encore

[Verse 5]
Hey Yo! [Am]i've walked on the african
sands like the kosan
[G]The original man from lands sacred
Battled zulu [Dm]tribes for the passion of word
play and swam [Am]across
The zambezi butt naked
Seen the sun rise in the east
and set in the west
Plotted [G]stars charts and directions
for god to manifest
From [Dm]the peaks of pyramids i left
tags in dark caves
[Am]Gave humanity clues on
how to star [G]gaze
I've seen [Am]a snake shed its skin like
[F]the seasons and [G]change
I've seen [Am]world rearrange in a flash
Now for this [F]cash they rape
mother Africa for wealth
It's left [G]me stranded in a spiritual
realm all by myself
Headed to [Am]mecca i stopped and spoke
swahili with [G]tribes
Chanted [Am]native dialects over
the hill i felt vibes
Threw [F]my hands in the sky
then beat them hard on a
Drum over [G]the horizon i waited
for freedom to come
But the [Am]ships just keep sailing
and whips just [G]keep cracking
I [Am]wonder where i am so i begin back
tracking through the
[F]Solomonic dynasty i read the
kebra took mt [G]swift
Across the mains like i was riding on
a zebra [Am]the ashante
Draped me in robes or roy[G]alty[Am]
the shona tribe blessed me
With lyrical [F]ability its beauty
infinate and there's just no
Debating when i [G]finally saw all along who's
been [Am]waiting
