"Waiting On The Night To Fall" This is the last track (#12) on Casting Crowns latest album (at the current date) "Thrive." I've done my best to tab it out properly, that doesn't mean there may not be mistakes. If you spot one please send me a PM or shoot me an email at "embear11@gmail.com". "Waiting On The Night To Fall" is in standard tuning with a Capo on the 3rd fret. I believe this is how they play it (I saw them live, however I can't remember if they played this song or not. Their guitarist used a capo on all the songs they played though). You can remove the Capo, or move it up/down the neck to fit your vocal range. Suggestion: This should sound much better if for the first verse and chorus you put most of the emphasis on the high notes and only sparingly strike the low notes, then as the song progresses gradually put more emphasis on the lower notes.

TheGre's an old man living in the back of your woDods tonight You fEmorgot he was even there, but you've nCever slipped his mind HeG's living off of scraps of you you neverD knew you left behind And aEm7s the sun goes down, he rises with a sCmile

He's waiting on the night toC fall The old man's coming to Gcall YDou don't see the writing on the Em7wall He'll never step out in the Clight No, he's just bidingG time And while you Dslumber, he's gonna come and take it Emall He's waiting on the night toC fall Em He's waiting on the night toAm7 fall A7
[Verse 2]
HeG knows you have the answers, but Truth liesD dusty on your shelf And the sEm7word that you could slay him with has become an orCnament and nothing else You could pGut him back down in his hole in the ground, but heD knows you never will He's beenEm7 around so long you got used to the Csmell
[Chorus]
He's waiting on the night toC fall The old man's coming to Gcall YDou don't see the writing on the Em7wall He'll never step out in the Clight No, he's just bidingG time And while you Dslumber, he's gonna come and take it Emall He's waiting on the night toC fall Em He's waiting on the night toAm7 fall A7
[Bridge]
He kCnows he'll never have your soul But Ghe will gladly rob you blind WhilDe you're feasting at his table, he'll tEmie your hands and numb your mind He'lCl take you farther than you wanna go He'lGl keep you longer than you wanna stay And iEmt will cost you more than you ever thought you'dD pay
[Chorus]
He's waiting on the night toC fall The old man's coming to Gcall YDou don't see the writing on the Em7wall He'll never step out in the Clight No, he's just bidingG time And while you Dslumber, he's gonna come and take it Emall He's waiting on the night toC fall Em C Em He's waiting on the night toC fall Em C Em
