Eric Bogle – If Wishes Were Fishes Chords

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

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

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

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

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

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