Verse 1
Am 
It was a dark December evening,
E 
Am 
not a cloud in sight
With thoughts of not returning,
E 
Am 
driving on into the night
C 
E 
Am 
Tears so freely flowing,
G 
Am 
burning up my eyes
C 
E 
Am 
I could hear the sound of nothing,
E 
Am 
and it echoed in my mind
I drove her on some highway,
E 
Am 
and then I saw her standing there
Her gaze so wild and wily,
E 
the wind was blowing in her hair
Am 
C 
E 
Am 
I stopped and pulled on over
G 
Am 
She gave me such a smile
C 
E 
Am 
And calmly leaned forward
E 
Am 
Said, I've been waiting quite a while
Dm 
Am 
Em 
Dm 
Em 
Am 
Patiently waiting
She told me many stories
E 
Am 
As we drove from town to town
Her ivory skin was dazzling
Em 
E 
Am 
And her eyes the deepest brown
C 
E 
Am 
In the air there was a silence
G 
Am 
I've never known before
C 
E 
Am 
She said remain one marker
E 
Am 
Before getting out the door
I drove a little further,
E 
Am 
and then I stopped to buy some gas
Told the attendant of my story,
E 
Am 
and he looked at me with gas
C 
E 
Am 
He said that Martha died while waiting
G 
Am 
for her true love by the road
C 
E 
Am 
One night while they were courting,
E 
Am 
he was delayed, so it goes
Dm 
Em 
I'm just patiently waiting,
Dm 
Em 
patiently waiting by the
Am 
Dm 
Em 
Dm 
Em 
Am 
river
I still see her in the doorway,
E 
Am 
her eyes so wide and dark
Waiting by the lonesome highway
E 
Am 
She'll be waiting by, oh
