With Every Wish - Bruce Springsteen

Ol' catfish in the lake we called him Big Jim
When I was a kid my only wish ws to get my line in [B]him
Skipped [A]church one Sund[E]ay rowed out and [A]throw'd in my [E]line
Jim took that [A]hook pole and [E]me right [A]over [E]the [B]side
Went driftin' [A]down past old [E]tires and rus[A]ty cans of [E]beer
The [A]angel of the [E]lake whispered [A]in [E]my [B]ear
"Before you [A]choose your [E]wish son
You [A]better think [E]first
With [A]every [C#m]wish there [A]comes [B]a c[E]urse."
I fell in love with beautiful Doreen
She was the prettiest thing this old town'd ever s[B]een
I [A]courted h[E]er and I m[A]ade her m[E]ine
But I grew j[A]ealous whenever [E]another [A]man'd
Come walkin' d[E]own the l[B]ine
And my jeal[A]ousy made me t[E]reat her h[A]ard and crue[E]l
She sighed, "B[A]obby oh B[E]obby you're [A]such [E]a [B]fool.
Don't you know before you [A]choose your [E]wish
You'd b[A]etter think f[E]irst
A C#m A B E | E |
'Cause with every wish there comes a curse."

These days I sit around and laugh at the many rivers I've crossed
But on the far banks there's always another forest where a man can get [B]lost
Well [A]there in the [E]high trees love's [A]bluebird g[E]lides
Guiding us '[A]cross to a[E]nother river on [A]the [E]other [B]side
And there som[A]eone is [E]waitin' with a l[A]ook in her [E]eyes
And though my h[A]eart's grown [E]weary
And more than a [A]little [E]bit [B]shy
Tonight I'll d[A]rink from her w[E]aters to q[A]uench my t[E]hirst
And leave the angels to worry
With [A]every [C#m]wish
