Artist: Alexi Murdoch
Song: Wait
Album: Time Without Consequence
Hi! This tab is based the tab by crookedpath that was added before (thank you!), only I
wanted to figure out the exact fingerpicking parts Alexi Murdoch is playing in his
version. So I tried and I thought I would share it! This is my first tab: I'm not an
expert at this, so I'm open to feedback. I really love this song, and the fingerpicking sounds
right to me this way. Good luck and have fun!

[D] Feel I'm on the verge of some great [A] truth
[D] Where I'm finally in my [A] place
[D] But I'm fumbling still for [Am7] proof
[C] And it's cluttering my space [G]
[C] Casting shadows on my face [G]

[D] And though I have the strength to move a hill [A]
[D] I can hardly leave my room [A]
[D] So I'll sit perfectly [Am7] still
[C] And I'll listen for a tune [G]
[C] When my mind is on the moon [G]
Chorus (strumming):
And [D] if I stumble, And [Am7] if I stall,
And [C] if I slip down, And [G] if I should fall,
And [D] if I can't be, [Am7] All that I could be
Will [C] you, Will you [G] wait for me?

[D] 'Cause everywhere I seem to [D] be
[D] I am only passing [D] through
[D] I dream these days about the [Am7] sea
[C] I always wake up feeling blue [G]
[C] Wishing I could dream of you [G]

And [D] if I stumble, And [Am7] if I stall,

Will [C] you, Will you [G] wait for me?
