A   D                    A     
I'm dead, my life's been sold  
G                D    A 
All my years are cold 
   D                A        
No trees to hide my head  
G                D 
All my roads are red 
 
D          G 
And in the Easter 
                         D    A    D 
I will see that same old sun, that shone 
           G 
And in the winter 
                         D     A D    A 
I shall stand in seas of snow, a lone 
 
D      G        A        A7 
I will wait for you, yeah 
     D         G          A        A7 
Your eyes will shine like new, yeah 
  D        D7              G  A 
I close my eyes and you're no where 
    G             D           A   A7  D 
And I'll wait for you for one million years 
 
A  D                  A 
My face has long been wet 
G             D   A 
Ever since we met 
   D                 A 
We wed, I knew she's stay 
G              D 
Then I passed away 
 
D          G 
And in the Easter 
                         D    A    D 
I will see that same old sun, that shone 
           G 
And in the winter 
                         D     A D    A 
I shall stand in seas of snow, a lone 
 
D      G        A        A7 
I will wait for you, yeah 
D             G       A       A7 
Just like you want me to, yeah 
  
  D        D7              G  A 
I close my eyes and you're no where 
    G             D           A   A7  D 
And I'll wait for you for one million years 
    G             D           A   A7  D 
And I'll wait for you for one million years
