[Intro]
G... C.... F G C... F G C... F G Am C
[Verse 1]
C F G
there she stands
C F G
looking out to sea
F G
waiting for her first love
C F G
keep on waiting for him
C F G
a little baby cries
C F G
in the arms of the night
C F G
she’s calling out his name
C F G
like a Madame butterfly
[Chorus]
C F G C
wait eh eh
F G
for the favoured one
Am
with the favourite heart
F
that he promised
G Am F G
too many years for now
[Verse 2]
C F G
there she stands
C F G
looking back at me
C F G
her red frames her pale face
C F G
against the black scenery
C F G
voices calling back at you
C F G
they’re just whispers in the wind
C F G
living on those sweet memories
C F G
won’t bring him back again
C F G
but your heart keeps telling you to
[Chorus]
C F G C
wait eh eh
C F G
for the favoured one
Am
with the favourite heart
F
that he promised
G Am F G C F G C
too many years for now wait eh eh
F G
for the tenderness
Am
of a tender heart
F
that he promised
G Am F G
too many years from now
Am
[Bridge]: she’ll never leave to be left with the chance
F
of living a lie on her own
Am
she won’t believe
she’s caught in a trance
C F G C
of wishing she wasn’t alone
[Instrumental]
F G Am F G Bb F G
[Chorus]
C F G C
wait eh eh
C F G
for the favoured one
Am
with the favourite heart
F
that he promised

too many years for now wait eh eh
F G
for the tenderness
Am
of a tender heart
F
that he promised
G Am F G
too many years from now
