Don't Wait by The Band from their final album Jubilation (1998).
C G C G C G D G (Harmonica intro)
G Well, I was searchin' by myself D G Singin' old songs, see if they help
I took the low way along the sea
D G Met an older man and he said to me C 'Sing me a song, son, lay it down' D 'Bring it forth then stand your ground' G It smelled like winter, it all felt fine D G In that dry bone hazy late November time. G He said : 'I've known high times, more than once' D G 'Now I stick strictly to the honky tonks'
'And I've known danger and I've known defeat'
D G 'I've seen whole generations fall to sleep'. C 'I've danced with angels, I've drank my fill' D 'I've talked with God out on the hill' G 'And I know my face but I live my name' D G 'But I go by Charlie Hawker all the same'. G C G Where are you goin' tonight ? G C G Where are you goin' so late ? G C G Your country needs you, boy, don't wait G C Where are you goin' ? D G Where are you goin' ? G And then he stopped : 'Come here to me' D G 'So that I can look at you, so that I can see' G But then he smiled, he let me know D G And in that space lies all the things I'll never know. C And then the sun sank in the West D He said : 'Boy, you know you may never be at rest' G I turned around to face the light D G And with a heavy heart I walked into the night. G C G Where are you goin' tonight ? G C G Where are you goin' so late ? G C G Your country needs you, boy, don't wait G C Where are you goin' ? D G Where are you goin' ?
