This is a lead sheet with lyrics, chords and guitar fret boards, for a jazz ensemble, large or small, with singer or solo instrument.  Thus, it is the basis for a variety of arrangements, contra facts, and improvisations.

The audio sample is a jazz quartet:  An iReal Pro swing accompaniment combined with my tune from Finale PrintMusic.

Wait It Out (Alternate Version), and Wait It Out (Rock Version) are also for sale on this web site.  The alternate version is also a swing -- same tune with different harmonization.

The March 2020 Covid-19 influenza scare is the subject of Wait It Out.  The lyrics express an individual’s efforts to cope with being isolated, away from friends – social distancing to discourage the spread of the flu.

I wrote this tune in the Locrian mode, which conveys a sad, surreal mood associated with self-isolation.  The coda brightens the mood with a change to Ionian (major) mode.

Here are the lyrics:

Wait It Out

1. 

I’m not having fun home alone.

I’m chewing my nails to the bone.

I don’t pretend to comprehend.

I’ll just wait it out to the end.

2.

Well, I just want to sit, drink and eat,

But going on line is a treat.

And I know this much, we’ll stay in touch!

Waiting this out to the end.

Coda

Sending warm wishes to you, my friend!

We’ll wait this thing out to the end!
