Key: C
Introduction:
G
Sittin' on a bench at West Town Mall
C
He sat down in his overalls and asked me.
C
You waitin' on a woman?
G
I nodded yeah and said how bout' you?
G C
He said son since nineteen fifty-two I've been, waitin' on a woman.
Am
When I picked her up for our first date,
F
I told her I'd be there at eight.
C G C
And she came down the stairs at eight-thirty.
Am
She said I'm sorry that I took so long,
F
Didn't like the thing that I tried on.
C F C
But let me tell you son, she sure looked pretty
Dm C
Yeah she'll take her time, but I don't mind waitin' on a woman.
G
He said the wedding took a year to plan.
C
You talk about an anxious man. I was nervous. Waitin' on a woman.
G
And then he nudged my arm like old men do,
And said, I'll say this about the honeymoon,
C
It was worth it. Waitin' on a woman.
Am F
And I don't guess we've been anywhere, she hasn't made us late I swear.
C G C
Sometimes she does it just cause she can do it.
Am F
Boy it's just a fact of life, it'll be the same with your young wife.
C F C
Might as well go on and get used to it.
Dm C
She'll take her time, cause you don't mind waitin' on a woman.
Am F
I've read somewhere statistics show, the man's always the first to go.
C G C
And that makes sense cause I know she won't be ready.
Am F
So when it finally comes my time, and I get to the other side,
C F C
I'll find myself a bench if they've got any.
Dm C
I hope she takes her time, cause I don't mind, waitin' on a woman.
Dm C C9
Honey take your time, cause I don't mind...
C
Waitin' on a woman.
