Wait Tabs

(ver. 2)
Alexi Murdoch

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!

Tuning: EADGBd - Tune down a half step to match CD!

  [D] Feel I'm on the verge of some great [A] truth
  [D] Where I'm finally in my [A] place

  [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]
