Always loved this song. I had a bit of trouble with the key and the chords! I decided 
Capo should be on fret 1.. it sounds alrightish. It's the closest you can get anyway!

I know it may look a bit simple.. but there's not a lot more to it than this! I do a few 
hammer ons and stuff to jazz it up, but that's optional, make it what you want.

BAGPIPES:

e|--0h2-3-3/5-3-2-0-2-3-2-0--------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------3-0-3-0------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------2-0-2--0h2-2-----------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Last bit of the bagpipe (you miss the slide and change quicker)

e|--0h2-3---5-3-2-0-2-3-2-0--------------------|
B|--------------------------3-0-3-0------------|
G|----------------------------------2-0-2-0h2--|
D|---------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------|


Tuning: Standard (Capo 1)

(Not the right chord names, but it's easier just to name them that)

    G  E  D/F

e|--3--3--3-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--3--3--3-------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--2--0--2-------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--0--2--0-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Verse:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/phil_collins/we_wait_and_we_wonder_acoustic_crd.html ]
   G               D/F           E
We stand, hang our heads disbelieving
          G                 D/F                E
then not knowing how could such a thing be wrong
    G          D/F                 E
we wonder just what they must be thinking
   G          D/F           E
to take a life of one so young

Pre-Chorus

             E               D/F         E
So tell me.. when will it be over now, how soon?
    E                  D/F      E
how far must we go, to prove to you?

Verse:

We wait and we wonder how this happened
killing the old, the innocent, the young
while sons follow in fathers footsteps not understanding
that what they do could somehow be so wrong

Pre-Chorus/Chorus

             E               D/F         E
So tell me.. when will it be over now, how soon?
    E                  D/F      E
how far must we go, to prove to you?

                           G        D/F      E
So we will wait and we'll wonder

INTERLUDE: G D/F E

Verse:

No regrets, no forgiveness, no compasssion
these brave heroes only know to hit and run
slowly my sadness turns to rage and we wonder
how can these scars ever heal, when all is said and done

Pre-Chorus/Chorus

             E               D/F         E
So tell me.. when will it be over now, how soon?
    E                  D/F      E
how far must we go, to prove to you?

                E               D/F         E
Please tell me..when will it be over now, how soon?
    E                  D/F      E
how far must we go, to prove to you?

                       G          D/F        E
So we wait and we wonder

The End
