Lyrics: With Rhythm Figure 1, 2 times

It’s getting near dawn
When lights close their tired eyes
I’ll soon be with you, my love
To give you my dawn surprise

Lyrics: With above chorus rhythm figure, 3 times

I’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m goin’
In the sunshine of your love

On the word “love,” play below:

|-0---0-0-----0-0-----0-0---0|-0-----0-0-0---0-0---0---0---------|
|-2---2-2-----2-2-----2-2---2|-2-----2-2-2---2-2---2---2---------|

|-0---0-0-----0-0-----0-0---0|-0-----0-0-0---0-0---0---0---------|
|----------------------------|-----------------------------/10---|

Then the second verse kicks in.  Repeat the rhythm figure indicated over the
verse, then the chorus rhythm figure as indicated.  Very self-explanatory.

After the second verse and chorus, this solo comes in.

Play the rest of the song accordingly (with correct rhythm figures and such;
once again, it is pretty self-explanatory... listen to the song).

Peace.
