THE LONGER THE WAITING (THE SWEETER THE KISS) by Josh Turner
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Very similar to the version by Anna Ternheim, but transposed a couple of
half-steps higher, which Josh then drops a whole octave. The Ebm chord was
just obnoxious to try to play, so if you wish you can just sub in the C
chord. Changes the mood a little bit, but it's much easier to play.
Standard tuning
[VERSE I ]
(also serves as the Intro)
C F C
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
Am F G
It's better my darling, I promise you this
Ebm/C F Dm
The next time I hold you, I'm not letting go
C F Am G/B
Will you wait for me darling, I need to know
[VERSE II]
C F C
Well, you know I'm a sailor, tomorrow we sail
Am F G
It's a hard way of living, but I know it well
Ebm/C F Dm
And if I surrender my life to the sea
C F Am
You can marry another, it's alright with me
[Pre-Chorus]
F G Am
Though we won't be together again 'til the spring
F G
Just imagine the treasures I'll bring
[Chorus]
C F C
Come lay with me, stay with me, soon I'll be gone
Am F G
But I will remember you all winter long
Ebm/C F Dm
And when I return to the one that I miss
C F Am
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
F C...
The sweeter the kiss
[Interlude]
...F C Am F G Ebm/C F Dm C F Am
[Pre-Chorus]
F G Am
When the mornings are warm and the valleys are green
F G
I'll come back from wherever I've been
[VERSE III]
C F C
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
Am F G
It's better my darling, I promise you this
Ebm/C F Dm
But next time I hold you, I'm not letting go
C F Am
We will give up the ocean forever, I know
F C
Forever I know.
[Interlude]
...F C Am F G Ebm/C F Dm C F Am F C
(repeat VERSE III) One strum per chord
C F C
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
Am F G
It's better my darling, I promise you this
Ebm/C F Dm
But next time I hold you, I'm not letting go
C F Am
We will give up the ocean forever, I know
F C
Forever I know.
