E When I was a kid my only wish we to get B my line in him A E A Skipped church one Sunday rowed out and throw'd E in my line A E A B Jim took that hook pole and me right over the side A E Went driftin' down past old tires and A E rusty cans of beer A E A B The angel of the lake whispered in my ear A E "Before you choose your wish son A E You better think first A C#m 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 jealous whenever another man'd come walkin' down the line And my jealousy made me treat her mean 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? '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 on the 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 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  B  C#m  E  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
