Here's a simpler version that I made for our local uke group:

The World Is Waiting... Gene Lockhart & Ernest Seitz 1919

Dear (G) one the (Bbdim) world is (G) waiting for the (B7) sunrise
(C) Every (G) rose (A7) covered with (D7) dew
And (G) while the (Bbdim) world is (G) waiting for the (B7) sunrise
(C) In my (G) heart (E7) I'm (Am) cal(D7)ling (G) you (D7)

Dear (G) one the (Bbdim) world is (G) waiting for the (B7) sunrise
(C) Every (G) rose (A7) covered with (D7) dew
The (G) thrush on (Bbdim) high his (G) sleepy mate is (B7) calling
(C) And my (G) heart (E7) is (Am) cal(D7)ling (G) you
