Gavin's Song

            C7M                 G
I wish you freedom, I wish you peace
            C7M                 
I wish you nights of stars, that 
                G
beckon you to sleep
            Em               D9   
I wish you heartache, that leaves 
           C9
you more a man
               C7M   Em         
I wish I could be there, but I 
C7M  G
can’t

             C7M                 G
I wish you places, that sit so still
              C7M                  
Where people never ever change, and
             G
 never ever will
               Em            D9   
I wish I could hold you and make 
        C9
you understand
               C7M    Em        
I wish I could be there but I 
C7M  G
can’t

                  Bm7  C
Be good for your momma

           Em             D
Cuz she’ll need a hand to hold
         Bm7   C  Em             
Boy she loves you more than 
        A9
you’ll ever know
          C                   
There are rhymes and there are 
   Bm7        C
reasons and times when
                    Bm7         
Nothing stayed the same, but you 
  D#7M     F7M        D#
know my love still remains

             C7M               G
I wish you wisdom, I wish you years
            C7M                  
I wish you armies, to conquer all 
       G
your fears
           Em            D9    
I wish you courage, for all that 
         C9
life demands
               C7M   Em          
I wish I could be there, but I 
C7M  G
can’t

                  Bm7  C
Be good for your momma
           Em             D
Cuz she’ll need a hand to hold
         Bm7   C  Em             
Boy she loves you more than 
        A9

  D#7M     F7M         D#
know my love still remains

                 C7M             
I wish we were together, I wish I 
      G
was home
                    C7M            
I wish there were nights where I 
         G
was never alone
            Em                D9  
I know I’ve said it but I’ll say 
         C9
it once again
               C7M   Em          
I wish I could be there but I 
C7M  G
can’t

[Outro] C7M  Em  C7M  G
