With Every Wish

Ol' catfish in the lake we called 
him Big Jim

When I was a kid my only wish ws to 
               B
get my line in him
        A              E          
Skipped church one Sunday rowed 
      A             E
out and throw'd in my line
              A             E     
Jim took that hook pole and me 
   A    E   B
right over the side
              A             E     
Went driftin' down past old tires 
       A          E
and rusty cans of beer
    A            E              A 
The angel of the lake whispered in
 E  B
 my ear
            A           E
"Before you choose your wish son
    A            E
You better think first
     A     C#m        A     
With every wish there comes a 
B  E
curse."


I fell in love with beautiful Doreen
She was the prettiest thing this old
              B
 town'd ever seen

I courted her and I made her mine
            A               E     
But I grew jealous whenever 
  A
another man'd
              E        B
Come walkin' down the line
           A             E      
And my jealousy made me treat her 
   A           E
hard and cruel
              A        E           
She sighed, "Bobby oh Bobby you're 
A    E B
such a fool.
                          A     
Don't you know before you choose 
      E
your wish
       A            E
You'd better think first
             A    C#m        A    
'Cause with every wish there comes
 B  E     | E |
 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 
B
lost
     A            E               
Well there in the high trees 
  A         E
love's bluebird glides
            A         E           
Guiding us 'cross to another river
    A   E     B
 on the other side
             A       E            
And there someone is waitin' with 
   A          E
a look in her eyes
               A            E
And though my heart's grown weary
                A      E   B
And more than a little bit shy
              A              E    
Tonight I'll drink from her waters
     A         E
 to quench my thirst

And leave the angels  to worry
     A     C#m
With every wish
