I'm looking for the basic chord structure of this song? (Sitting here in limbo) Thanks!

IamWILSON

just looked up the youtube video of the studio version and grabbed my guitar.

D for a long time / G for a long time /  D (w/ the D you can put the 3rd (regular D open chord), then 9th (Dadd9), then root (D5), then 9th back on top in the voicing to sound what the organ is doing)

A / G / A / D 

D for a long time / G for a long time / D

A / G / A / D (hold this D for a little bit)

G/ D/ G/ D (repeat)

F# / Bm / F# / Bm / E / A  back to top

The instrumental "sittin in limbo part" is all on D w/ a sprinkle of Dsus followed by D maj w/ a 6th (or 13th on top of the voicing) resolving to a 5th kinda thing, but for the most part just D w/ the Dsus.

Enjoy... I always like figuring out tunes on the fly!

And let me add my disclaimer to the above.  This is just off the youtube video through lap top speakers on my macbook pro and playing on an unplugged strat being quiet, but I think I heard it all well enough.

You can find the chords for this pretty easily on Google. Is the JGB version somehow different?

C
Sitting here in limbo, but I know it won't be long
F
Sitting here in limbo, like a bird without a song
             G       
Well they're putting up resistance
      F       G    C
But I know my faith will lead me on

Sitting here in limbo, waiting for the dice to roll
Sitting here in limbo, got some time to search my soul
Well they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on

I don't know where life will lead me
But I know where I've been
I can't say what life will show me
But I know what I've seen
Tried my hand at love and friendship
But all that is passed and gone
This little boy is moving on

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the tide to flow
Sitting here in limbo knowing that I have to go
Well they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on

I don't know where life will lead me
But I know where I've been
I can't say what life will show me
But I know what I've seen
Tried my hand at love and friendship
But all that is passed and gone
This little boy is moving on

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the tide to flow
Sitting here in limbo knowing that I have to go
Well they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
