    Waiting For My Real Life To Begin
    Colin Hay
    Going Somewhere
    Tabbed by Ian Dulley ([email protected])
    The timing here is hard to judge from the tab alone.
    I suggest you read this tab whilst listening to the
    song to figure out how it goes.
    At present I have only given the chords, but there's
    some fingerpicking/arpeggio picking going on
    throughout the song, just try to improvise, you can't
    really make it sound bad.
