Intro: (A) (Bm/A) x 4

(A) The snow in Montana was (Bm7) three feet high
(E) The lady at the counter said there (D/A) ain't no (A) flights (E/G#)
(F#m) And so he (C#7/E#) called her on the tel(A/E)ephone (B/D#)
(D) He said, 'I'll rent a car, and (Esus4) I'll drive home' (E)

  And she said, I'll (A) wait for you
  Like I (Bm7) did last year
  At (A/C#) Christmas time with your (D) family here (Esus4) (E)
  And your (A) truck broke down out in (Bm7) San Antone
  And the (A/C#) gifts stayed wrapped until (D) you got home
  (E/D) Oh, this ain't (D) nothin' new (Esus4) (E)
  Sweetheart, I'll (A) wait for you 

(Bm/A) (A) (Bm/A)

Now he's on his cell phone in a Coupe De Ville
Talkin' to the one he loves and always will
His heart is breakin' 'cause she's there alone
Her heart is achin' ah she wants him home

  She says, I'll wait for you like in '68
  When our child was due, but I said, he'll have to wait
  Until his dad gets here and stands by my side
  Remember, dear, our son's first cry
  Oh, this ain't nothin' new
  Sweetheart, I'll wait for you

---KEY CHANGE---

(Bb/A) (F) (Gm) (F/A) 

(Bb) He didn't stop all day (Cm7) to eat a bite
(F) And he finally got there a(Eb/Bb)round mid(Bb)night (F/A)
(Gm) The doctor (D7/F#) said, she's in a (Bb/F) better place (C/E)
(Eb) She said to give this you this note (Fsus4) just in case (F)

  And it said, I'll (Bb) wait for you at (Cm7) Heaven's gate
  Oh, I (C/E) don't care how (Eb) long it takes (Fsus4) (F)
  And I'll (Bb) tell Saint Pete I (Cm7) can't come in
  With(C/E)out my love and (Eb) my best friend (Fsus4) (F)
  (F/Eb) Oh, this ain't (Eb) nothin' new (Fsus4) (F)
  Sweetheart, I'll (Bb) wait for you
  P.S. I (Cm7) love you, too (Fsus4) (F) 
  Sweetheart, I'll (Bb) wait for you (Cm/Bb) (Bb) (Cm/Bb)
