Artist: The Afters
Song Title: Wait
CD: I wish We All Could Win
Tabbed by: Daniel Van Wingerden

Comments: DanVW36@hotmail.com

This awesome song is off of The Afters new CD. It's an amazing acoustic song and I 
this tab is 100% correct if you take the time to learn it in it's entirety. As always, refer 
the song for timing and rhythm.

You can play the song in standard tuning if you want, but it's going to be a half step higher.

TUNING: Standard Flat (Eb, G#, C#, F#, Bb, Eb)

Guides:
s - Slide
h - Hammer
P - pluck all notes at once (Not strumming)
S - Strum the notes with your thumb

Chords Used: C  Am Em Gm Dm Fm G  F

Wait, I can hardly wait...

And that's all there is to it. A little daunting at first, I know.
But once you get the hang of it, it's easy to play. Have fun guys.
God bless
