The first two chords are the Csus2 and a Dm that sneaks in

for one strum before the F.

Hope this helps.

Waiting on a Friend (Jagger/Richards)

gleaned from the album "Tattoo You" by The Rolling Stones (1981):

Intro:

	Am	F	G	C
				Watchin girls a-passin' by   It ain't the latest thing

	G	C	G	C
				I'm just standin' in a doorway  I'm just tryin' to make some sense

	Am	F	G	C
				out of these girls a-passin' by...the tales they tell of men

	G	C	G	C
				I'm not waitin' on a lady       I'm just waiting on a friend

	Am	F	G	C
				A smile relieves the heart that bleeds     remember what I said

	G	C	G	C
				I'm not waitin' on a lady   I'm just waiting on a friend

(repeat "I'm just waiting on a friend" on F)

	Am	F	G	C
				Don't need a whore I don't need no booze - don't need a virgin priest

	G	C	G	C
				But I need someone I can cry to    I need someone to protect

	Am	F	G	C
				Makin love and breakin hearts - it is a game for youth

	G	C	G	C
				but I'm not waiting on a lady...I'm just waitin on a friend

(just waitin on a friend)

I don't know the whole song, but I know some bits. Here's the

opening:

C(add9

F

--0-0-0-0--1-----1--------
--3-3-3-3--1-----1--------
--0-0-0-0--2-----2--------
--2-2-2-2--3--x--3--3-----
--3-3-3-3-------------2-3-
--------------------------

8 times

(I haven't figured out the verse yet)

This part is in the bridge, after "I'm just standing in a doorway", and

after "I'm just trying to make some sense":

C(Add9

C

--0-0-0---0-
--3-3-3---1-
--0-0-0---0-
--2-2-2---2-
--3-3-3---3-
------------

I hope this is a good start. I play along with the tape, and it sounds

accurate.....maybe with a couple transfusions I could figure out the rest :)
