[Intro]
E B A
[Verse]
E
There's a cold wind blowing though the southern cave mines
Somewhere in parks city and its closing time
C#m E
To another dead end week in a vacant life
E
People talking bout Joe and what went down,
how you cant find justice in a Utah town
C#m E
So you tip your hat to a stranger and walk on by
[Chorus]
A E
Waiting on a chance to shine
A E
Waiting on a chance to shine
B
In the sidewalks, factories and fields you'll find
C#m B A
A dust filled dream laying flat on the ground
E B A
Waiting on a chance to shine
E B A
Waiting on a chance to shine
[Verse]
E
The world is full of lonely fools
Staring at eachother from across the rooms
C#m E
Wishing they could get up their nerves to speak their minds
E
But its hard for a man to stand his ground
Locked up in state prison and beaten down
C#m E
Watching shadows creeping cross the walls through sleepless nights
[Chorus]
A E
Waiting on a chance to shine
A E
Waiting on a chance to shine
B
Justice is a woman in a rocking chair
C#m B A
Combing the tangles from her long black hair
E B A
Waiting on a chance to shine
E B A
Waiting on a chance to shine
[Verse]
E
There's an empty feeling in sugar house park
And the memory looks in long after dark
C#m E
As the people try to tell the story of a crooked trial
E
How the workers can stop a speeding train
Tying their ships in the ocean with mighty chains
C#m E
Every wheels in gods creation, every mill and mine
[Chorus]
A E
Waiting on a chance to shine
A E
Waiting on a chance to shine
B
Everytime I dream about better times,
C#m B A
I can feel Joe's ashes stiring deep inside
E B A
Waiting on a chance to shine
E B A
Waiting on a chance to shine
[Outro]
E
There's a cold wind blowing though the southern cave mines
Somewhere in parks city and its closing time
C#m E
To another dead end week in a vacant life
