[Verse 1]
A D E F#m
I kissed my penny and I threw it in
A D E
I prayed I'd keep my soul
A D E F#m
Went down to the river where the water bends
A D E
The only place I know
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7 F#m7
Oh, I can't see
D
The forest
A
For the trees
[Chorus]
A A/C# D
So will you wait for me?
A A/C# D
Will you wait for me?
A A/C# D
Will you wait for me?
A E/G# E/C# D
My evergreen
[Verse 2]
A D E F#m
Standing at the water's edge
A D E
The Mississippi's overflowing
A D E F#m
Hold your current in my hands
A D E
You bring the meaning to my moments
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7 F#m7
Oh, I can't see
D
The forest
A
For the trees
[Chorus]
A A/C# D
So will you wait for me?
A A/C# D
Will you wait for me?
A A/C# D
Will you wait for me?
A E/G# E/C# D
My evergreen
[Bridge]
Bm7 F#m7
Oh, I can't see

The forest
A
For the trees

Oh, I feel so
D A
Hopeless against the stream
[Chorus]
A A/C# D
So will you wait for me?
E F#m
My evergreen
A A/C# Bm7 Emaj7
I know it's just as hard in Heaven
A A/C# D
So will you wait for me?
E (F) F#m
My evergreen

I know it's just as hard
