Eric Bogle - If wishes were fishes

I^D wish I was home again at ho^Gme in my heart again I^Dt's been a long time since my heart talked to m^Ae; W^Dastin' my precious - days wis^Ghin' my life away If wi^Dshes were fishes we'd all cast ne^Ats in the sea^D.

An^Dd I wish I was young again my so^Gng still to be sung again The sw^Deet tunes of my life have gone sour and off k^Aey; Wri^Dtin' my tired old rhymes try^Gin to turn back time If ^Dwishes were fishes we'd all cast ne^Ats in the se^Da.

If wi^Gshes were fi^Ashes I kno^Dw where I'd b^Ge Cas^Dting my net in the dark rolling se^Aa; A^Gnd if my net's em^Apty when it com^Des back to sho^Gre I'll th^Drow it away and go fishing no mo^Are

I ^Dwish I could care again rea^Gch out and share again Me^Dnd what's been broken and let - it run fr^Aee; The o^Dlder I get it seems the more w^Gishin' takes the place of dreams If wi^Dshes were fishes we'd all cast ne^Ats in the se^Da

If wi^Gshes were fi^Ashes I kno^Dw where I'd b^Ge Cas^Dting my net in the dark rolling se^Aa; And i^Gf my net's em^Apty when it com^Des back to sho^Gre I'll th^Drow it away and go fishing no mo^Are

^DI wish I was home again at ho^Gme in my heart again It's been^D a long time since my heart talked to me^A; Wa^Dstin' my precious days wis^Ghin' my life away If w^Dishes were fishes we'd all cast ne^Ats in the se^Ga ^D
