Waiting For an Alibi - Thin Lizzy

Intro
Bass & drums for 4 bars, then solo(s) over: C#m E G#m B x4

Verse 1
C#m E G#m B
Valentino got a booky shop
C#m E G#m G#m
And what he takes he gives for what he's got

C#m E G#m B
And what he's got he says he has not
C#m E G#m G#m
Stole from anyone

Bridge
C#m G#m
It's not that he don't tell the truth
C#m F#m
Or even that he misspent his youth
C#m G#m
It's just he holds the proof
A B
But you know something's wrong

Chorus
E E G#m A B
Waiting for an alibi (Waiting for an alibi)
E E G#m A B
Waiting for an alibi (Waiting for an alibi)

Verse 2
C#m E G#m B
Valentino's in a cold sweat
C#m E G#m G#m
Placed all his money on that last bet
C#m E G#m B
Against all the odds he smokes another cigarette
C#m E G#m G#m
Says it helps him to forget he's a nervous wreck

Bridge
C#m G#m
It's not that he misses much
C#m F#m
Or even that he lost his lucky touch
C#m G#m
It's just that he gambles so much
A B
And you know that it's wrong

Chorus
E E
Waiting for an alibi (Waiting for an alibi)
G#m A B
Waiting just to catch your eye

Waiting for an alibi (Waiting for an alibi)

Try to say I told you I told you

Verse 3
C#m E G#m B
Valentino got nowhere to go
C#m E G#m G#m
On his own like Romeo
C#m E G#m B
Blow by blow he watches his money go
C#m E G#m G#m
Now he's oh so low

Bridge
C#m G#m
It's not that he misses her
C#m F#m
Or even that he can't resist her
C#m G#m
It's just that kissing her
A B
He feels so strong


Chorus
E E
Waiting for an alibi (Waiting for an alibi)

Waiting just to hold you
