From: Chris Ambrose <csa4e@darwin.clas.virginia.edu> Waiting My Turn by The Connells off of the One Simple World album The song is actually played a half step lowere than shown here but this is the easier way to play it. If you want to play along then transpose it down a half step. The opening riff is the bass notes G F# C C C D G (If you can't get it listen to the song-- that goes for everything here.) This same riff is used for the verse but with chords. Use A full G, full G with F# bass, Cadd9('), and D Full G:--o-- G with F#:--o-- Cadd9:--o-- --o-- --o-- --o-- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -o--- -o--- ----- --o-- --o-- -o--- ----- The chorus is C G D D C G C The outro is G C D G C D which changes to Em C D G Em C D G after the first time through Here's the song:

^GI ask^G/F#ed her t^Cadd9o stay h^Dere with me a while, Oh she said no These words mean nothing these thoughts won't fly, O she said no And where would this lead us to anyway, O she said no Well I crossed the line in half the time and that's insane O she said

C G D D C G D(not C as above) Hey now keep yourself in town, won't you' And daylight keep yourself in sight, won't you' G G/F# C add9 D So I asked her to come back some other time, O she said no These words ring holloow these thoughts aren't mine, O she said-

^CHey n^Gow ke^Dep yo^Dursel^Cf in^G town^C, won't you' And daylight keep yourself in sight, won't you'

Chorus Outro The first Em in the outro falls on the Maybe. Good luck understanding this all. Thanks to Ben Foster for figuring this out with me. See ya, Chris Ambrose From: wvaughan@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu (William Vaughan) Date: 20 Jun 1995 17:50:41 GMT Subject: CRD Connells "Waiting My Turn" Connels - Waiting My Turn off "One Simple Word" Capo on 4rd fret and low E string tuned to D. Chords will be writtin as if the 4th fret was the nut (ie - a D is an F#) The idea during the verses is to let the base note ring out over the D chord. I usually hit the bass note by itself and then play the whole chord. Also, sometimes I leave out the F# on the first string.
