   The wine's all drunk    and so am I

|C7             |                |Ab7      |     |

    I guess they're waiting for the big  one.

[Verse 2] {Enters the band, play the intro} (1:44-) Wonder why I'm cold. How did I get this far? Had no money, had no car I pray the snow goes, be bad if it settles 'Cos I follow my nose and the dried up rose petals Like the man says, Sure hope Moses knows his roses Or we'll all be waiting for the big one. Interlude 1: (2:31-) |C | (x 4 bars) |F |G |Ab |Bb |C | || |Dm |Eb |F |G |Ab |Bb || [Verse 3] (3:03-) Once I was the credit to my credit card spent what I hadn't got, wasn't hard No trust in judgement no trust in money Someday I'll find myself like a bee finding honey, oh But in the meantime, ah I'm gonna have me some fun Waiting for the big one. [Verse 4] (3:50-) One too many, where ego I go too Looking for the real thing It don't come from what I do No real communication moves out of my face I'm beginning to think, yeah, I'm just out of place, a-ha Won't get in too deep, I want to get some sleep To be ready for the big one, To be ready for the big one Interlude 2: (4:43-) |C | (x 4 bars) |F |G |Ab |Bb | |C | | | || |Dm |Eb |F |G |Ab |Bb || (Intro) (5:20-) {Bluesy guitar solo} Coda: (6:07-) |C | (x 4 bars) {Enter female vocals, tempo rubato}
