Artist: The Guild League
Song: Why Wait?


Transcribed by Tom Hawking (thawking@gmail.com)


From the wonderful Inner North album of 2004. A beautiful song, and fairly easy to play.


Standard tuning


*Verse*


For a solo guitar, it sounds nice if you follow the bassline along with the verse 
chords (G / F#m / Bm / E) - something like this:


   G         F#m       Bm        E
E|-3-------|-2-------|-2-------|-0-------|
B|-0-------|-2-------|-3-------|-0-------|
G|-0-------|-2-------|-4-------|-1-------|
D|-0-------|-4-------|-4-------|-2-------|
A|-2---0---|-4-----0-|-2-2-0---|-2-------|
E|-3-3---3-|-2---2---|-------2-|-0---0-2-|


        G                F#m
A whole year, gone by so quick
        Bm                        E
Itching eyes, and the warm air is thick
         G                     F#m
With the dust of plant life in lust
                Bm          E
Wide awake in a sweat cos I just


         G                      F#m
Felt the fridge hum through the floor
Bm                          E
Spring's knocking under the door
          G          F#m
We've got nothing to prove
         Bm                    E
Which is more than I've got to lose


*Chorus*


   Bm           G
So why wait any longer
        D                          C
For the rest of your life to start happening, dear?
        Bm               G
Because I'm feeling much stronger
         D                            C 
Than the man that began at the end of last year
   C
So carefully, carefully


*Instrumental break*


Bm / G / D / A x 3
A(sus4)


The final A ends with a little run on the B string, like so:


B-2-3-0-2-3-0

Enjoy...
