Eagles - Waiting in the Weeds: chords

G#                         Fm
It's comin' on the end of August
G#                               Fm
Another summer's promise almost gone
              C#
And though I heard some wise man say
            G#
That every dog will have his day
         F#                                    A#m D#
He never mentioned that these dog days get so long

I don't know when I realized the dream was over
Well, there was no particular hour, no given day
You know, it didn't go down in flame
There was no final scene, no frozen frame
I just watched it slowly fade away

Chorus:
   Fm                         G#
And I've been waiting in the weeds
               A#m            C#
Waiting for my time to come around again and
Fm                        G#
Hope is floating on the breeze
             A#m          C#
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
Fm                     G#
I've been keepin' to myself  Knowin'
          A#m          C#
that the seasons are slowly changing
Fm                               G#
Even though you're with somebody else
                     A#m      C#
He'll never love you like I do

I've been biding time with the crows and sparrows
While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage
If finding love is just a dance
Proximity and chance
You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade

Chorus:
And I've been waiting in the weeds
Waiting for the dust to settle down along the
Back roads running through the fields
Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town

       Fm                       G#
And I imagine sunlight in your hair
                      A#m
You're at the county fair
                C#
You're holding hands and laughing
Fm                             G#
And now the ferris wheel has stopped
                       Cm
You're swinging on the top
            G
Suspended there with him
    G#                       D#
And he's the darling of the sheik
                   Cm      G
The flavor of the week is melting
G#                       D#
Down your pretty summer dress
              G
Baby, what a mess you're making

Cm                                B+
I've been stumbling through some dark places
D#                     B+
Now I'm following the plow
Cm                         B+
I know I've fallen out of your good graces
A#m            D#
It's alright now

Chorus:
And I've been waiting in the weeds
Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the
Wild birds scattering the seeds
Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune

                   G#
The phases of the moon
                    A#m
The chambers of the heart
             C#
The ebb and dart of small gray

  Fm                     G#
Spiders spinning in the dark
                     A#m              C#
In spite of all the times the web is torn apart
   Fm                        G#
And I've been waiting in the weeds
                 A#m           C#
Waiting for the time to come around again and

Hope is floating on the breeze
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
I've been keeping to myself
Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing

Even though you're with somebody else
He'll never love you like I do
