David Francey - Wishing Well
CAPO: 6th Fret
INTRO: C
F G
On the morning news that brought me 'round
F C
They put the Oklahoma bomber down
F G
He might serve in heaven, might burn in hell
F C
But he's no more wishes at the wishing well
F G
I should feel compassion, I know I should
F C
I don't know if his dying does any good
F G
But he was good as gone when the building fell
F C
Ah, when they ran out of wishes at the wishing well
CHORUS:
G F C
Ah, lying on his back, eyes open wide
G F C
And the prick of the needle and the silent slide
G F C
And the Press lined up, with their stories to tell
F G
How there's no more wishes at the wishing well
INSTRUMENTAL: F G F C F G F C
F G
Today I rattled around this town
F C
Hands in my pockets, eyes cast down
F G
And the air as still as the steeple bell
F C
It was dry as a bone at the wishing well
F G
The thunderheads tower over the town
F C
I'll be warm and dry, when the sky falls down
F G
And we might get lucky, but you never can tell
F C
It was dry as a bone at the wishing well
CHORUS:
G F C
Ah, lying on his back, eyes open wide
G F C
And the prick of the needle and the silent slide
G F C
And the Press lined up, with their stories to tell
F G
How there's no more wishes at the wishing well
