WAITING FOR MY REAL LIFE TO BEGIN- Colin Hay
Standard tuning, Capo 4
*NOTE TO THE PLAYERS*
As far as this song goes, the available tabs are either accurate and ugly, or
inaccurate and pretty =\ So I thought I'd make as accurate and pretty a tab as
I could for you =) Please note that regardless of what I called these chords,
they all hold 3 on the B and e strings, except for the D chords throughout, and
the marked Em near the end of the song. Enjoy!!

Any minute now... my ship is coming in
I'll keep checking... the hori- zon
And I'll stand on the bow
/B
And feel the waves come crashing
Come crashing down, down, down on me
And you say... be still, my love
Open up your heart, let the light shine in
Don't you understand? I already have a plan
I'm waiting for my real life to begin

When I awoke today... suddenly nothing happened
But in my dreams... I slew the dragon
And down this beaten path... and up this cobbled lane
I'm walking in my own footsteps once again
And you say... just be here now
Forget about the past, your mask is wearing thin
Let me throw one more dice, I know that I can win
I'm waiting for my real life to begin
.. .. .. /B
Any minute now... my ship is coming in
I'll keep checking... the hori- zon
And I'll check my machine
/B
There's sure to be that call
It's gunna happen soon, soon, oh so very soon
It's just that times are lean
And you say... be still, my love
Open up your heart, let the light shine in
Don't you understand? I already have a plan
I'm waiting for my real life to begin
Hey... Hey yeeeeeee... Hey...

Mmm-eee... Eee... Eee... Eee... Eee...
On a clear day, I can see, see a very long way
