Waiting for a Miracle (Bruce Cockburn)


   A                   B                           E
Working and waiting in the hot sun
A                  B                                         E
With all the rich saints, and the fallen ones
A                      F#7                                E       C#m
Working and waiting for the night to come
                                     A                                      B                                       E
And the waiting for a..... and the waiting for a....and the waiting for a miracle

Somewhere out there is a land that's cool
Where peace and balance are the rule
Working for the future like some kind of mystic jewel
And the waiting for a, and the waiting for a, and the waiting for a miracle

Bridge

C#m                                            B                                      F#m
You rub the palm of your hand on the grimy pane in the hopes that you can see
C#m                                            B               F#m
Stand up tall, pretend you're strong in the hopes that you can be (when you're waiting)
C#m                                B                                               F#m                             riff: a, g#, f#, g#
Like the one's that cry, like the ones that die trying to set the angel in us free
A
And the waiting for a
B                                     E
And the waiting for a miracle

Scuffle for a nickel, struggle for a dime
Forget about the past, leave your worries behind
How come the future has to take such a long, long time
When you're waiting for a
When you're waiting for a
When you're waiting for a miracle

Solo verse x2

Bridge again but with
A B E C#m x2
A B (and the waiting for a
E miracle)
