Bob Marley – Waiting In Vain      (Album: Exodus (1977))

KEY: A♭ Major

[ A♭maj7  | D♭maj7  ] x2      (repeat Chords for song)

I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love (x2)

From the very first time I placed my eyes on you, girl
My heart says follow through
But I know, now, that I’m way down on your line
But the waitin’ feel is fine

So don’t treat me like a puppet on a string
‘Cause I know how to do my thing
Don’t talk to me as if you think I’m dumb
I wanna know when you’re gonna come… See,

I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love (x3)

[Bridge]:      Db        Eb           Cm7          Bbm7

                     Summer is here,  I’m still waiting there.

                     Winter is here, and I’m still waiting there.

Like I said… It’s been 3 years since I’m knockin’ on your door
And I still can knock some more
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible?
I wanna know now, for I to knock some more

Ya see, in life I know there’s lots of grief
But your love is my relief
Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn
While I’m waiting, while I’m waiting for my turn

[solo]

I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love (x5)

I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna,

        I don’t wanna wait in vain, no (x3)
It’s your love that I’m waiting on,

       It’s my love that you’re running from  (x2)
