Intro: Play riff 4 times. On the cd it's played twice with the piano and then twice with the fiddles.

Verse 1:

D                                              G

We said we'd walk together ,darling, come what may

D                                   A

That in twilight should we lose our way

D                                         G

If as we're walking your hand should slip free

             D

I'll wait or you and If I should fall behind

     A            D

Will you wait for me?

Verse 2:

D                                      G

We swore we'd travel ,darling, side by side

D                            A

We'd help each other stay in stride

    D                                   G

But each lover's steps fall so differently

              D       

I'll wait for you and If I should fall behind

     A            D

Will you wait for me?



Interlude:

    G                         D

Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true

    D                                  A

But you and I know what this world can do

   D                                               G

So let's make our steps clear so tha the other may see

              D

I'll wait for you and if I should fall behind

     A            D

Will you wait for me?

Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead

Dsus2                              Asus2

There 'neath the oak's bough, soon we'll be wed

Dsus2                                    G modal

Should we lose each other in the evening trees

              Dsus2

I'll wait for you and if I should fall behind

Will you wait for me?

              Dsus2

I'll wait for you and if I should fall behind

     Asus2        Dsus2

Will you wait for me?

              Dsus2

I'll wait for you and if I should fall behind

Will you wait for me?
