Sit and Wonder Lyrics

Artist-The Verve
Song-Sit And Wonder
Album-Forth
Writer- McCabe, Jones, Salisbury, Ashcroft
There are multiple guitars in the song, so I tried to tab the stuff that was most prominent.
Throughout the song, McCabe uses a lot of effects, but reverb is the most common I believe.

I sit and wonder,I often wonder, I've been waiting for this moment to come

The rites of passage we all must take em and some are gonna break n the stone
The door is open, and I'm reaching, yea it looks like the prodigal son

I could be searching all my life, searching all my life
Keep that candle on tonight, candle on tonight

Could be hurting all the while, hurting all the while
Lord give me the light.
