[Intro] C 

G
Sittin' on a bench at West Town Mall
                                    C
He sat down in his overalls and asked me

You waitin' on a woman
G
I nodded yeah and said how 'bout you
                                     C   
He said son since nineteen fifty-two I've been

Waitin' on a woman

Am
When I picked her up for our first date
F
I told her I'd be there at eight
C                       G            C 
And she came down the stairs at eight-thirty
Am
She said I'm sorry that I took so long
F
Didn't like a thing that I tried on
C              F                 C
But let me tell you son she sure looked pretty
             Dm               F    
Yeah she'll take her time but I don't mind
               C
Waitin' on a woman

G
He said the wedding took a year to plan
                                     C
You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous

Waitin' on a woman
G
And then he nudged my arm like old men do
                                                   C
And said, I'll say this about the honeymoon, it was worth it

Waitin' on a woman

Am
And I don't guess we've been anywhere
f
She hasn't made us late I swear
C                  G                      C
Sometimes she does it just 'cause she can do it
Am
Boy it's just a fact of life
F
It'll be the same with your young wife
C                  F              C 
Might as well go on and get used to it
          Dm                     F  
She'll take her time 'cause you don't mind
              C

[Solo] G  C  G  C 

Am
I've read somewhere statistics show
   F
The man's always the first to go
  C                      G                       C
And that makes sense 'cause I know she won't be ready
Am
So when it finally comes my time
F
And I get to the other side
C                    F                C
I'll find myself a bench, if they've got any
          Dm                       F
I hope she takes her time, 'cause I don't mind
             C
Waitin' on a woman
          Dm                    F  
Honey, take your time, cause I don't mind
             C
Waitin' on a woman
