"Wailing Wall" - Todd Rundgren (Ballad)

Note: When I first transcribed this song (1996) it was a 
very early effort and although it resulted in a playable 
version it wasn't accurate. The chords are quite numerous and
subtle. I hope you find this version a little closer to the 
truth. Bearing in mind that this is a piano song, it is 
nevertheless quite logical and easy to play on guitar even for
a novice like me (See voicings below.) Robert Whyte rob@toadshow.com.au
          
          Gmaj7     F#m7    Em          D   Bm
There's a grand old maid         Across the sea

Em          Cmaj7  Bm7       Am7  Am7/D    G
So the story was        re called to       me

          Gmaj7       F#m7      Em   G/B  Cmaj7
And from dawn    'til dark you hear  her  call

         Bm               Am  Am/D    Gmaj7*
Down in front of the      Wai ling    Wall

B11  Bm  Em          F#m        Gmaj7        Fmaj7
And she cries    all day     so sad     and alone

                     Em           Dm7         Cmaj7
'Til someone comes along    and leads     her home

C11      Fmaj7          C11                 Fmaj7
Nobody listens     and nobody     seems to care

    Cm    F       Dm              Cm   F    D
But ev   ery     day      you'll find them there, and

  Gmaj9   F#m7         Em  D   Bm
Kneeling down     For sadness sake

Em              Cmaj7           Am     Am/D   G
Crying just as though    their hearts  would break
       
         Gmaj7         F#m7          Em   G    Cmaj7
And from dawn     'til dark     you hear them  call

  C      Bm               Am   Am/D     Gmaj7*
Down in front of the      Wai  ling    Wall

B11  Bm  Em          F#m        Gmaj7         Fmaj7
And they cry     all day     so sad     and alone

                     Em           Dm      Dm/G  Cmaj7
'Til someone comes along    and leads     them home

C11                  Fmaj7              C11             Fmaj7
You know    I don't listen and     you know that I don't care

     Cm  F        Dm               Cm  F   D
But ev   ery     day       you'll find me there, and

Gmaj7     F#m7               Em  D   Bm7
Kneeling down           For sadness sake

Em              Em/A       Bm7  Am7       Am7/D    G
Crying just as though      my heart      would   break

         Gmaj7     F#m7        Em            G  Cmaj7
And from dawn 'til dark     you'll hear      me call

  C      Bm                Am   Am/D     G    (Gmaj7 / G)
Down in front of the       Wai  ling    Wall
