the wish – bruce springsteen
A D
dirty old street all slushed up in the rain and snow
E A E
little boy and his ma shivering outside a rundown music store window
A D Bm
that night on top of a christmas tree shines one beautiful star
A E A E
and lying underneath a brand new japanese guitar
A D
i remember in the morning , ma , hearing your alarm clock ring
E
i’d lie in bed and listen to you gettin’ ready for work
A E
the sound of your makeup case on the sink
A D Bm
and the ladies at the office , all lipstick , perfume , and rustlin’ skirts
A E A E
and how proud and happy you always looked walking home from work
A D
if pa’s eyes were windows into a world so deadly and true
E A E
you couldn’t stop me from looking but you kept me from crawlin’ through
A D Bm
and it’s a funny old world , mama , where a little boy’s wishes come true
A E A E
well i got a few left in my pocket and a special one just for you
A D
it ain’t no phone call on sunday , flowers or a mother’s day card
E A E
it ain’t no house on a hill with a garden and a nice little yard
A D Bm
i got my hot rod down on bond street , i’m older but you’ll know me in a glance
A E A E
we’ll find us a little rock ’n’ roll bar and baby we’ll go out and dance
( guitar solo ) A | A | D | D | E | E | A | E | A | A | D | Bm | A | E | A | E
A D
well it was me in my beatle boots , you in pink curlers and matador pants
E A E
pullin’ me up off the couch to do the twist for my uncles and aunts
A D
well i found a girl of my own now , ma , i popped the question on your birthday
Bm A
she stood waiting on the front porch while you were telling me to get out there
E A E
and say what it was that i had to say
A D
last night we all sat around laughing at the things that guitar bought us
E A E
and i layed awake thinking ’bout the other things it’s brought us
A
well tonight i’m taking requests here in the kitchen
D Bm
this one’s for you , ma , let me come right out and say it
A E A
it’s overdue , but baby , if you re looking for a sad song , well i ain’t gonna play it
( guitar solo to fade out ) A | A | D | D | E | E | A | E | A | A | D | Bm | A | E | A | E
