[Verse 1]
         Bm    A                 Bm    A
There is light at the end of the tunnel
         Bm   Em              F#7
There is hope with the rising sun
                      Bm    A                Bm        A
Just play some reggae music and it will be a better day
Em                 F#7          Bm
Toots, Bob Marley, roots rock reggae


[Verse 2]
          Bm   A           Bm   A
There are days in troubled times
    Bm              Em                F#7
You lose yourself inside your worried mind
               Bm     A             Bm  A
Turn up reggae music, some Burning Spear
Em                F#7             Bm
You will feel the beat of life so clear


[Chorus]
    Bm                   A
But I've been waiting so long
G                    Bm
I've been waiting so long
Bm                   A                    Bm
I've been waiting so long for the tide to turn
Bm                    A
I don't wanna wait so long
G                          Bm
I've been waiting from thе break of dawn
Bm                   F#7                  Bm
I've been waiting so long for the tidе to turn (for the tide to turn)

[Bridge]
Bm    A     G     A     Bm
Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
    Bm             Em           F#7
The message in the music we can learn
     Bm     G              Em                           Bm
Turn off, relax your mind, dig a little deeper leave it all behind
Bm               F#7                    Bm
You will have to change for the tide to turn


[Chorus]
    Bm                   A
But I've been waiting so long (I've been waiting)
G                    Bm
I've been waiting so long (I've been waiting)
Bm                   A                    Bm
I've been waiting so long for the tide to turn
Bm                    A
I don't wanna wait so long
G                          Bm
I've been waiting from the break of dawn
Bm                   F#7                  Bm
I've been waiting so long for the tide to turn (for the tide to turn)


[Outro]
Bm                       Bm
 (I've been waiting, and I've been waiting)
        Bm                    Bm
For the tide to turn, for the tide to turn
     Bm                                    Bm
(And I've been waiting) I've been waiting (I've been waiting)
        Bm                    Bm
For the tide to turn, for the tide to turn
 Bm                      Bm
(Waiting for the tide to turn)
