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)
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
It s better my darling, I promise you this
/
The next time I hold you, I m not letting go
Will you wait for me darling, I need to know
[VERSE II]
Well, you know I m a sailor, tomorrow we sail
It s a hard way of living, but I know it well
/
And if I surrender my life to the sea
You can marry another, it s alright with me
[Pre-Chorus]
Though we won t be together again til the spring
Just imagine the treasures I ll bring
[Chorus]
Come lay with me, stay with me, soon I ll be gone
But I will remember you all winter long
/
And when I return to the one that I miss
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
...
The sweeter the kiss
[Interlude]
... /
[Pre-Chorus]
When the mornings are warm and the valleys are green
I ll come back from wherever I ve been
[VERSE III]
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
It s better my darling, I promise you this
/
But next time I hold you, I m not letting go
We will give up the ocean forever, I know
Forever I know.
[Interlude]
... /
(repeat VERSE III) One strum per chord
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
It s better my darling, I promise you this
/
But next time I hold you, I m not letting go
We will give up the ocean forever, I know
Forever I know.
