The Wish Chords by Bruce Springsteen

[A] _ _ Dirty old street all slushed up in the rain and [D] snow _ _ _
Oh boy and [E] it's my shivering outside a run down music store [A] window
That _ [E] _
night on [A] top of a Christmas tree shines one beautiful [D] _ star
_ [Bm] _ _
_ [A] Hint line underneath a [E] brand new Japanese [A] guitar
_ _ _ [Em] _ _
[A] I remember in the morning my hearing your alarm clock [D] rang
_ I'd lie in bed [E] and listen to you getting ready for work
The sound of your makeup case on [A] the sand
_ _ [E] _ _ And [A] the ladies at the office all lipstick, perfume and rustling [D] skirts _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ And how proud [A] and happy you always [E] look walking home [A] from work
_ _ [E] _ _ If [A] Pa's eyes were windows into a world so deadly [D] and true _
You _ _ couldn't [E] stop me from looking but you kept me from crawling [A] through _
And [E] _ _ if it's [A] a funny old world, Ma, where little boys' wishes [D] come true
_ _ [Bm] _ Well I got a few [A] left in my pocket and [E] a special one just [A] for you
_ _ [E] _ It ain't [A] no phone call on Sunday, flowers or Mother's [D] Day car
_ It _ ain't no [E] house on a hill with a garden and a nice little [A] yard
_ _ [E] _ I got my [A] heart right down on Bond Street, I'm older but gold on the inner [D] gland
_ _ [Bm] We'll find a slowly [A] rocking robot [E] and baby we'll go out [A] and dance
[E] Well _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ it [A] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ was [A] me and my beetle boots, you in pink curlers and matador [D] pants
_ Pulling _ _ [E] me up off the couch to do the twister and the waffles [A] and dance
_ [E] _ Well I found [A] a girl of my own now, Ma, I popped the question on your [D] birthday _
She stood [Bm] waiting on the front porch while [A] you were telling me to get out there
And [E] say what it was that I had [A] to say
_ [E] Last _ [A] night we all sat around laughing at the things that [D] guitar bought us
_ _ _ _ And [E] laid awake thinking about the other things [A] it brought us
_ [E] _ _ Well tonight I'm [A] taking requests here in the kitchen, this one's for you, Ma
Let me come right out and [D] say it, it's _ [Bm] overdue
But baby if [A] you're looking for a sad [E] song, well I ain't gonna [A] play it
Come on now, _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] go right now, [E] you're good
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] All through right now, [Bm] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ yeah, [E] two left
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ Alright, [E] keep going there, that's it
_ [A] Oh, _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ one more time, man
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
