Tuning:

Note - This song can played well with one guitar if the lead that follows each line is incoporated within it. For example on the first line, the change from G to C only play -> B--0-2 and add the 3rd note (B-3) whilst playing C Chord - hope this helps.

CHORUS -

^DSeems like everyone Is out ^Glookin' for the sun Singin' ^Crain and pain On ^Ghe who hesi^D7tates ^D7But it'll shine when it shines You might ^Gthink I'm wasting time But I'm ^Cjust a good old ^Dboy that's learned to ^Gwait ^D7

(The rest of the Verses are played the same as above as is the chorus) Whippoorwill's in the dawn Pretty soon he'll be gone And he's got one good song to sing But like my daddy said It's in your heart not your head And you got to sing and sing and sing There's a window in the wall Lookin' out on it all Leavin' fears and tears and troubles alone There's a fire in the stove Keepin' out the cold Warmin' wine and winters and babies and homes CHORUS - Seems like everyone Is out lookin' for the sun Singin' rain and pain On he who hesitates But it'll shine when it shines You might think I'm wasting time But I'm just a good old boy That's learned to wait

Yes I'm ^Cjust a good old ^Dboy That's learned to ^Gwait
