Waiting in the Weeds by The Eagles A#aug xxx332 [Intro] G [Verse 1]
G                             Em
  It's comin' on the end of August

 G                                  Em
Another summer's promise is almost gone

             C
And though I heard some wise man say

           G
That every dog will have his day

         F                                    Am    D
He never mentioned that these dog days get so long
[Verse 2]
             G                              Em
I don't know when I realized the dream was over

                G                            Em
Well, there was no particular hour, no given day

             C
You know, it didn't go down in flame

             G
There was no final scene, no frozen frame

F                              Am    D
I just watched it slowly fade away
[Chorus]
    Em                       G
And I've been waiting in the weeds

               Am            C
Waiting for my time to come around again and

Em                      G
Hope is floating on the breeze

            Am            C
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and

Em                     G
I've been keepin' to myself

                 Am          C
Knowin' that the seasons are slowly changing

Em                               G
Even though you're with somebody else

                     Am        C
He'll never love you like I do
[Verse 3]
G                                           Em
  I've been biding time with the crows and sparrows

      G                                   Em
While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage

           C
If finding love is just a dance

  G
Proximity and chance

           F                           Am    D
You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade
[Chorus]
    Em                       G
And I've been waiting in the weeds

                Am             C
Waiting for the dust to settle down along the

Em                             G
Back roads running through the fields

             Am                C
Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town

       Em                      G
And I imagine sunlight in your hair

                     Am
You're at the county fair

               C
You're holding hands and laughing

    Em                       G
And now the ferris wheel has stopped

                       Bm
You're swinging on the top

          F#
Suspended there with him

    G                       D
And he's the darling of the chic

                  Bm      F#
The flavor of the week is melting

G                       D
Down your pretty summer dress

             F#
Baby, what a mess you're making
[Instrumental] Bm A#aug D A#aug x2 [Bridge]
Bm                                  A#aug
   I've been stumbling through some dark places

D                      A#aug
  Now I'm following the plow

Bm                           A#aug
   I know I've fallen out of your good graces

Am              D
   It's alright now
[Chorus]
    Em                       G
And I've been waiting in the weeds

                Am             C
Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the

Em                        G
Wild birds scattering the seeds

              Am             C              Em
Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune

                  G
The phases of the moon

                    Am
The chambers of the heart

            C
The ebb and dart of small gray

Em                      G
Spiders spinning in the dark

                    Am               C
In spite of all the times the web is torn apart

    Em                       G
And I've been waiting in the weeds

                Am            C
Waiting for the time to come around again and

Em                      G
Hope is floating on the breeze

            Am            C
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and

Em                     G
I've been keeping to myself

                 Am          C
Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing

Em                               G
Even though you're with somebody else

                     Am       C
He'll never love you like I do
