C                    G7   C                     F     C
Packed my things and went away a thousand years ago today
                                     G7
For I had places to go and things to see
C                G7       C                    F      C
I had a girl who loved me so and she begged me not to go
                        G7                  C
But I left and took her pleading words with me
 
C7      F              C
I'll be waiting always waiting 
                                          G7
I love you and I'll miss you while you're gone
  C                             F
I know you have to do what your heart tells you to
           C                         G7      C
So I'll be waiting till it tells you to come home
 
                   G7       C                       F      C
All the things I'd hoped to find I soon learned I'd left behind
                                    G7
So I told myself ol boy let's us go home
C                   G7      C                        F      C
Cause our darling's waiting there and she said she'd always care
                    G7               C
And the echo of her promise leads me on
 
C7      F              C
I'll be waiting always waiting 
                F         C           G7       C
I'll be waiting till your heart tells you come home
C7      F              C
I'll be waiting always waiting
 
Spoken:
Well I got back home today and I almost wished I'd stay away
 
For I left here with a smile and now I weep
 
Oh she kept her promise alright and she's waiting here tonight
 
Still waiting neath the ground where she's asleep
                
                F         C           G7       C
I'll be waiting till your heart tells you come home
