Tom: G
Intro :- C,D x5
G (let ring for entire of this verse)
Anxious nights give way to daylight
She don't cry and she don't complain
To honor, cherish, protect and keep you
She took your problems and took your name
D G D G
All she wants to do is stroll down the island
D G C D
She don't care if there's wind or there's rain
G D G
Only a women of her stature
D G C D
Could shield you from the venom of this town's disdain
Am G C D
And she'll wait by your side

And she'll wait by your side,
Am G C D
You're the one thing that matters in her life
C,D x4
G D G
As she waits patiently by the window
D G C D
She knows you'll be coming home soon
G D G D
She'll sit quiet there and won't go
G C D
Her dedication can't be moved
G D G D G
She hears the echoes marching down "A" street
G C D
Like footsteps on the cobblestone
G D G
A pace to heavy to be her master
D G C D
They pass her by and she's still alone
Am G C D
And she'll wait by your side
