Bruce Cockburn – Waiting For A Miracle (Guitar)

Bb                 C               F
    Look at them working in the hot sun

Bb                C                    F
    The pilloried saints and the fallen ones

Bb              G7                       F
    Working and waiting for the night to come

Dm                       Bb                 C                   Bb/F  F
        And waiting for a, and waiting for a, and waiting for a miracle

Bb                 C                      F
    Somewhere out there is a place that's cool

Bb                  C               F
    Where peace and balance are the rule

Bb                   G7                              F
    Working toward a future like some kind of mystic jewel

Dm                   Bb                  C                  Bb/F  F
    And waiting for a, and waiting for a, and waiting for a miracle

Dm                            C
     You rub your palm on the grimy pane

                         Gm
In the hope that you can see (when you're waiting)

Dm                            C
      You stand up proud, you pretend you're strong

                        Gm
In the hope that you can be (when you're waiting)

Dm                                         C
      Like the ones who've cried, like the ones who've died

                  Gm
Trying to set the angel in us free

                             Bb
While they're waiting for a

                            C
While they're waiting for a

                            Bb/F  F
While they're waiting for a miracle

Bb                   C                     F
      Struggle for a dollar, scuffle for a dime

Bb                      C               F
      Step out from the past and try to hold the line

Bb                Gm                   F
      So how come history takes such a long, long time?

Dm                      
       When you're waiting for a

Bb                                   
       When you're waiting for a

                                 Bb/F  F
C      When you're waiting for a miracle

Dm                            C
     You rub your palm on the grimy pane

                         Gm
In the hope that you can see (when you're waiting)

Dm                            C
      You stand up proud, you pretend you're strong

                        Gm
In the hope that you can be (when you're waiting)

Dm                                         C
      Like the ones who've cried, like the ones who've died
