BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - WITH EVERY WISH
from the album "Human Touch"
This is taken from "Human Touch" song book
Intro: E Esus | E Esus | E Esus | E Esus
E Esus E Esus E
Ol' catfish in the lake we called him Big Jim
Esus E Esus E B Bsus | B Bsus
When I was a kid my only wish was to get my line in him
A E A E Esus | E Esus
Skipped church one Sunday rowed out and throw'd in my line
A E A E B Bsus | B Bsus
Jim took that hook pole and me right over the side
A E A E Esus | E Esus
Went driftin' down past old tires and rusty cans of beer
A(9) E A(9) E B Bsus | B Bsus
The angel of the lake whispered in my ear
A E A E Esus | E Esus2
"Before you choose your wish son you better think first
A C#m A B E
With every wish there comes a curse"
I fell in love with beautiful Doreen
She was the prettiest thing this old town'd ever seen
I courted her and I made her mine
But I grew jelous whenever another man'd come walkin' down the line
And my jelousy made me treat her hard and cruel
She sighed "Bobby oh bobby you're such a fool
Don't you know before you choose your wish you'd better think first
C#m A B E
'Cause with every wish there comes a curse"
These days I sit around and laugh at the many rivers I've crossed
But on the far banks there's always another forest where a man can get lost
Well there in the high trees love's bluebird glides
Guiding us 'cross to another river ont he other side
And there someone is waitin' with a look in her eyes
And though my heart's grown weary and more than a little bit shy
Tonight I'll drink from her waters to quench my thirst
And leave the angels to worry with every wish...
