As recorded by Status Quo (From the 1972 Album PILEDRIVER) [Intro] Am Am/G Am/F# Asus2/F Am Am/G Am/F# Asus2/F Am Am/G Am/F# Asus2/F Am Am/G Am/F# Asus2/F Am Am/G Am/F# Asus2/F [Verse 1]

    Am                   Dm            F
Standing by the wayside, begging for a ride

       Am         Dm               Am
I been waiting so long, a year has gone

                        Dm              F
Look at all the people, strangers every one

          Am         Dm               Am    Dm Am   Dm Am N.C.
I've been looking so long, a year has gone

[Verse 2]

Am                          Dm               F
You were all I lived for, I guess my life is through

          Am        Dm               Am
I've been living so long, I can't go on

                       Dm                F
Lonely Sunday morning, rest in peace, my love

         Am          Dm               Am    Dm Am   Dm Am N.C.
You been sleeping so long, a year has gone

[Bridge]

A                         A7
How could I ever start to tell you

    D             Dm
The end is almost here?

    A               D       Dm    A
The song of love is ringing in my ears

                      A7
Playing loud, playing clear

    D               Dm
The song will never change

    A           D      Dm    A
The memory will always be so near

I been waiting so long, a year has gone
