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
