D5 E5 G5 D4 D Dsus2 D
Verse:
[D] A woman on the [E] radio talks about [G] revolution,
though it's [D4]already [D] passed [Dsus2] her [D] by
[D]Bob Dylan didn't have [E] this to sing about [G] you know it feels
[D4] good [D] to [Dsus2] be [D] alive
Chorus:
[G] I was alive and I waited, waited
[G] I was alive and I [D4] waited [D] for [Dsus2] this [D]
[D] Right here, [E] right now, [G] there is no other place [D4] I'd [D] rather
[Dsus2] be [D]
[D] Right here, [E] right now, [G] watching the [D4] world [D] wake up [Dsus2]
from [D] history
Verse:
I saw the decade in
When it seemed the world could change
In the blink of an eye
And if anything, there's your sign...
Chorus:
I was alive and I waited, waited
I was alive and I waited for this
Right here, right now
There is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now
Watching the world wake up from history
Right here, right now
There is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now
Watching the world wake up from history
Play the chorus til you feel like stopping, then bring it home with the little
D4-D-Dsus2-D riff, ending on the D. It also sounds cool to improvise with a
wah peddle just before each verse, and to use distortion on the chorus to
really bring it out.
