You used to take me fishing down by the wishing well
Em Bm C D Em
One day you threw a wish in and we listened while it fell
B7
And you made a wish...

"When the years are heavy and my heart is growing cold
C B7 Em D7
Well I wish when the evening comes that there'll always be

Some ol' ol' old friend who'll miss me too"
Em
Well I do
Am D G D
So friend I'm coming through
