Chord/Tab song: Wish It Was True

CAPO: 2nd Fret

INTRO: C

Mother, tried to do [F]right by [C]you
To do what you [F]asked me [C]to
I did [G]wrong and I [C]knew[F][C]

Mother, I tried to be[F]have for [C]you
Now I'm a-digging a [F]grave for [C]you
It was [G]all I could [C]do[F][C][F]

[G]Find a way back home, make every[A11]thing [F]new [Fsus2]
But I [F]wish it was [C]true[F][C][F][C][F][C]

Father, well I'll give my [F]soul to [C]you
I came in blind[F]folded for [C]you
It was [G]all that I [C]knew[F][C][F]

[G]Open your arms and I'll fly out of hell up [A11]to [F]you
But I wish it was [C]true[F][C][F][C][F][C][Dm]

BRIDGE:
Boy come on out from the [F]cold
You're lost outside there, don't you [C]know
It's not what you say, it's what you [G]do
Just keep wishing your wishes are [Dm]true
Well your dreams they're reality [F]now
There's no pain, there's no mise[C]ry
Just polish the blood and the [G]bruise
For there's just no way you can [F]lose
But I wish it was [C]true[F][C][F][C][F][C][F][C][F][C][F][C]

Country, I was a [F]soldier for [C]you
I did what you [F]asked me [C]to
It was [G]wrong and you [C]knew[F][C]

Country, now I'm just a [F]stranger to [C]you
A number, a [F]name, it's [C]true
Throw me a[G]way when you're [C]through[F][C][F]


The [G]home of the brave and free, the red white and [F]blue
But I wish it was [C]true [F] [C] [F] [C] [F][C]
