Eric Bogle - If Wishes Were Fishes Chords

[Opening]
I [D]wish I was home again, [G]home in my heart again,
It’s [D]been a long time since my heart talked to [A]me.
[D]Wastin’ my precious days, [G]wishin’ my life away,
If [D]wishes were fishes, we’d all cast [A]nets in the [D]sea.

[verse 2]
I [D]wish I was young again, my [G]song still be sung again,
The [D]sweet tunes of my life have gone sour and off [A]key;
[D]Writin’ my tired old rhymes, [G]tryin’ to turn back time,
If [D]wishes were fishes, we’d all cast [A]nets in the [D]sea.

[chorus]
If [G]wishes were [A]fishes, I [D]know where I’d [G]be,
[D]Casting my net in the dark rolling [A]sea;
And [G]if my net’s [A]empty when it [D]comes back to [G]shore,
I’ll [D]throw it away and go fishing [D]no [A]more.

[verse 3]
I [D]wish I could care again, [G]reach out and share again,
[D]Mend what’s been broken and let it run [A]free;
The [D]older I get it seems, more [G]wishin’ takes the place of dreams,
If [D]wishes were fishes, we’d all cast [A]nets in the [D]sea

[chorus]
If [G]wishes were [A]fishes, I [D]know where I’d [G]be,
[D]Casting my net in the dark rolling [A]sea;
And [G]if my net’s [A]empty when it [D]comes back to [G]shore,
I’ll [D]throw it away and go fishing [D]no [A]more.

[Closing]
I [D]wish I was home again, [G]home in my heart again,
It’s [D]been a long time since my heart talked to [A]me.
[D]Wastin’ my precious days, [G]wishin’ my life away,
If [D]wishes were fishes, we’d all cast [A]nets in the [D]sea.
