I Wish You Well

Song: I wish you well Producer: John Webster, T. Cochrane

Artist: Tom Cochrane Label: EMI Music Canada

Album: Ragged Ass Road

Transcribed By: Ryan Lloyd: <sitka411@hotmail.com>

This tune is by one of the greatest Canadian song writers in modern

time. You should really sit down and listen to a few of his albums if

you haven't heard much of his stuff. He channels his feelings and

emotions into his music extremely well and I highly recomend buying any

of his C.D.'s.

Notes: For second verse play riff A with variations

This sounds right to me but if I screwed up anywhere please tell me

where

I wish you well

Verse 1

w\riff A

I'm gonna check my scars at home

gonna cash my chips and roam

gonna walk before you fade to black

I'm gonna write a new resume

gonna write you off the page

I'm gonna take what we might take away

and you might find a brighter day

you might find a brighter day, oh,

and in another year

the pain will disappear and I

will look back on this life as if were a scene

in a film somebody made for you and me I wish you well

w\fill 1

I wish you well

I wish you well

Verse 2

She wants to be set free

wants the space to feel love and be angry and I

I watch her bounce off the walls

while the chips they start to fall

then in a little while I see

that distant smile returning

just like a ghost in a dream that we had

back when

then she'll turn and smile and say

come again, oh,

and in another year

the pain will disappear

we'll look back on this life as if it were a scene

somebody wrote about you and me

somebody made about you and me

I cannot believe there's nothing left to save

hard as a hammer she wants me

to come again and again

I'm down on my knees

won't you come again

don't you need relief, oh,

and in another year

the pain will disappear and I

will look back on this life as if it were a scene

and in a little while

I'll see that distant smile returning

just like back in the days

when we were so naive

in a film somebody, somebody made, oh,

w\fill 1

I wish you well

I wish you well

I wish you well

I wish you well

* Repeat outro once and end on D chord
