We consider the propagation of gravitational waves generated by slow motion sources in a Coulomb-type potential due to the mass of the source. Then, the formula for a gravitational waveform including the tail is obtained in a straightforward manner by using the spherical Coulomb function. We discuss its relation with the formula in the previous work.
