Standard

           Cm                 G
I wish you freedom I wish you peace 
            Cm                                G
I wish you nights of stars that beckon you to sleep
            Em            Dsus                  C   
I wish you heartache that leaves you more of a man
               Am Em           Cm  G 
I wish I could be there, but I can't 


I wish you places that sit so still 
Where people never ever change and never ever will 
I wish I could hold you and make you understand 
I wish I could be there, but I cant 

[chorus]
                 Bm   C
Be good for your mama 
             Em             Dsus
Cause she'll need a hand to hold
          Bm       C
Boy, she loves you 
Em                    A
More than you'll ever know 
          Csus                 Bm                 
There are rhymes and there are reasons
    Csus               Bm 
And times when nothing stayed the same
        Cm      Dm         Cm 
But you know my love still remains 

I wish you wisdom, I wish you years 
I wish you armies to conquer all your fears 
I wish you courage for all that life demands 
I wish I could be there, but I can't 

[chorus]
Be good for your mama 
Cause she'll need a hand to hold 
Boy, she loves you 
More than you'll ever know 
There are rhymes and there are reasons 
And times when nothing stayed the same 
But you know my love still remains 

I wish we were together 
I wish I was home 
I wish there were nights where I was never alone 
I know I've said it but I'll say it once again 
I wish I could be there, but I can't
