Bruce Cockburn - Waiting For A Miracle

      [Intro]
Bb    C   F
Bb    C   F

[Verse]
Bb                 C               F
Look at them working in the hot sun
Bb             C                    F
The pilloried saints and the fallen ones
Bb            Gm              F
Working and waiting for the night to come
Dm                  Bb                C                 Gm  F
And waiting for a, and waiting for a, and waiting for a miracle
Bb          C                         F
Somewhere out there is a place that's cool
Bb         C                        F
Where peace and balance are the rule
Bb               Gm                                  F
Working toward a future like some kind of mystic jewel
Dm                  Bb                  C                Gm  F
And waiting for a, and waiting for a, and waiting for a miracle


[Chorus]
Dm                       C
You rub your palm on the grimy pane
                         Gm
In the hope that you can see (when you're waiting)
Dm                     C
You stand up proud, you pretend you're strong
                       Gm
In the hope that you can be (when you're waiting)
Dm                        C
Like the ones who've cried, like the ones who've died
                        Gm
Trying to set the angel in us free
Bb
While they're waiting for a
C
While they're waiting for a
                           Gm    F
While they're waiting for a miracle

[Verse]
Bb                     C                F
Struggle for a dollar, scuffle for a dime
Bb                     C                F
Step out from the past and try to hold the line
Bb                      Gm              F
So how come history takes such a long, long time?
Dm                       Bb
When you're waiting for a
C
When you're waiting for a
                        Gm      F
When you're waiting for a miracle

[Chorus]
Dm                       C
You rub your palm on the grimy pane
                         Gm
In the hope that you can see (when you're waiting)
Dm                     C
You stand up proud, you pretend you're strong
                       Gm
In the hope that you can be (when you're waiting)
Dm                        C
Like the ones who've cried, like the ones who've died
                        Gm
Trying to set the angel in us free
Bb
While they're waiting for a
C
While they're waiting for a
                           Gm    F
While they're waiting for a miracle
Bb
While they're waiting for a
C
While they're waiting for a
                           Gm    F
While they're waiting for a miracle
Bb
While they're waiting for a
C
While they're waiting for a
                           Gm    F
While they're waiting for a miracle
