"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.

[Intro]
G D Em C
[Verse 1]
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
[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
[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
