Wish It Was True Chords & Tabs
My take on this wonderful song, recently heard on Sons of Anarchy. The Cadd9 is
probably actually an F or a variation thereof, but I find it easier to add the
finger picking with this, and it sounds pretty true to the original.
Standard tuning, capo 7th.
G Cadd9 G
Mother, Try to do right by you
To do what you asked me to
D G
I did wrong and I knew.
Mother I tried to behave for you
Now I’m a digging a grave for you
It was all I could do.
D C
Find a way back home, Make everything new
G
But I wish it was true.
Father, well I’ll give my soul to you
I came in blind folded for you
It was all that I knew.

Open your arms and I’ll fly out of hell up to you
I wish it was true.

Country, I was a solider for you
I did what you asked me to
It was wrong and you knew.

A number a name it’s true
Throw me away when you’re through.
D C
Home of the brave and free the, the red white and blue
G
But I wish it was true.
