Subject: Barenaked Ladies: You Will Be Waiting
I hope that the chord fingerings below
make sense. I don’t know the real names of the chords that I’ve called
such things as CaddG, but it’s a C major with the high G note added on
the first string and so on. Sorry about the capo placement, but my
cassette player plays everything fast (about a half-step fast) so where
I have to put my capo to play along isn’t necessarily reliable. Just pick
out the bass notes and see where it should go.

YOU WILL BE WAITING
(Capo on 2nd or 3rd fret; I can’t remember which)
The numbers below denote the fret where the string should be held, not
the finger that should be used. All fingerings are with the capo on.
