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:
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
Wriff A
I’m gonna check my scars at home
Gonna cash my chips and roam

And you might find a brighter day
G
You might find a brighter day, oh,

Verse 2
D
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
D
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
G
Come again, oh,
Chorus

To come again and again

I’m down on my knees

Won’t you come again

Don’t you need relief, oh,

In a film somebody, somebody made, oh,
