Bob Marley - Waiting in Vain
Tabbed by Frederic Maquet
_____________________________

This is a really nice laid back song.  The hardest bit is really the rythm,
so you'll have to listen to the record to get it right.
This should be G#maj7 C#maj7, as in the record Bob probably tuned his
guitar down half a step.  So if you want to play with the record, tune
your guitar down EbBbGbDbAbEb.  Otherwise play G#maj7 and C#maj7

Verse 2: same chords as verse 1

--------
Amaj7	                          Dmaj7
  It's been three years since I'm knocking on your door
       And I still can knock some more
        Ooo girl, Ooo girl, is it feasible, I wanna know now
  	      for I to knock some more, you see

Amaj7 		        Dmaj7
    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
Amaj7					    Dmaj7
While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn

Chorus:
-------
It's your love that I'm waiting on
It's your love that I'm running from

Same as before repeat and fade...
