Bob Marley — Waiting In Vain New Key Chords
Waiting In Vain
BoB Marley,
By Daniel Frampton
—I don't think the Am is in the original version, so if you don't like it just leave it out,
I think it sounds pretty nice and this is just how i play it.
It is also much lower than the originial version making it it's easier for me to sing.
E A Am
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
E A Am
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.
E A
From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl,
E A
My heart says follow through.
E A
But I know now that I'm way down on your line,
E A
But the waiting feel is fine
(Same pattern through the verses and the last bit) E A Am
So don't treat me like a puppet on a string,
'cause I know I have to do my thing.
Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb
I wanna know when you're gonna come — soon.
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,
Bridge:
A B
'cause if summer is here,
G#m F#m
I'm still waiting there;
A B
Winter is here,
G#m F#m
And I'm still waiting there.
(Same progression E A Am)
Like I said
It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door,
And I still can knock some more:
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible?
I wanna know now, for I to knock some more.
Ya see, in life I know there's lots of grief,
But your love is my relief
Tears in my eyes burn — tears in my eyes burn
While I'm waiting — while I'm waiting for my turn,
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna wait in vain.
No, I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna wait in vain.
It's your love that I'm waiting on
It's my love that you're running from.
—Dan
