With Every Wish - Bruce Springsteen
| E | E | E | E
Ol' catfish in the lake we called him Big Jim
B
When I was a kid my only wish ws to get my line in him
A E A E
Skipped church one Sunday rowed out and throw'd in my line
A E A E B
Jim took that hook pole and me right over the side
A E A E
Went driftin' down past old tires and rusty cans of beer
A E A E 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 A B E
With every wish there comes a curse."

I fell in love with beautiful Doreen
B
She was the prettiest thing this old town'd ever seen
A E A E
I courted her and I made her mine
A E A
But I grew jealous whenever another man'd
E B
Come walkin' down the line
A E A E
And my jealousy made me treat her hard and cruel
A E A E B
She sighed, "Bobby oh Bobby you're such a fool.
A E
Don't you know before you choose your wish
A E
You'd better think first
A C#m A B E | E |
'Cause with every wish there comes a curse."

These days I sit around and laugh at the many rivers I've crossed
B
But on the far banks there's always another forest where a man can get lost
A E A E
Well there in the high trees love's bluebird glides
A E A E B
Guiding us 'cross to another river on the other side
A E A E
And there someone is waitin' with 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 A E
Tonight I'll drink from her waters to quench my thirst
And leave the angels to worry
A C#m
With every wish
