THE LONG WAIT WORDS & MUSIC:   Earl P. Reinhalter INTRO: Em - C - Bm - Em Em C G I. when the long wait is over, Em G crowds will dance in the street. C Gm D B7 you'll turn around and smile on all you meet. Em C G II. there'll be no consolation, Em G no sins to console. C Gm D B7 and all your tears of lead will turn to gold. C#m BRIDGE: hurry now: G#m the moment will be here. A slower now: F#7 so I can hold it near Fmaj7 Em before I disappear. /// REPEAT INTRO /// INSTRUMENTAL: like verse Em C G III. at the top of the mountain, Em G the climber still climbs - C Gm D B7 and tries to plant the flag a few more times. Em C G IV. but when the long wait is over, Em G there is nowhere to go. C Gm D B7 even the four winds may cease to blow. /// REPEAT BRIDGE /// ENDING: Em - C - Bm (repeat several times, ad lib vocal) Em - C - G © Copyright 1987 Earl P. Reinhalter.   All Rights Reserved.
