I am still working on it, but here is the general idea.  If someone wants to finish it, feel free.  If not, I will get to it when I have more time.

Waco

Intro: G, G, C, D x2

G                       G
Where the dry dust turns the sunset pink
     C                         D
where all summer long it's so hot that you can't think straight
G                            G
where we pulled water from a well by hand
C                          D
half a world away from the old promised land

we understand we've been given

a new covenant -- a real sharp one

and we spend our days and nights

gaining new appreciation of its finer points

and waiting for the dead to rise up from their graves

waiting for jesus to come along and save us. and

biding our time

biding our time

biding our time as best we know how

where the texas doughboys used to play
before the wind blew everything away.
where we came to get away from our friends.
where we'd tell each other jokes waiting for the world to end.
we know our jokes are funny,
but in all the wrong ways and for all the wrong reasons.
and we watch old George Romera movies
and relish the short time left.
yeah, waiting for the dead to rise up from their graves.
waiting for jesus to come along and save us. yes, and
biding our time.
biding our time.
biding our time as best we know how. 

I think it's G C D as g=32033 c=032033 d= 000232 for the verses
There's a little bass run that I think is C down to G to D?
