In my opinion, one of the prettiest songs
ever written.  Buddy intended it for the
Everly Brothers.

"Wishing" -- Buddy Holly and Bob Montgomery

(capo 4th fret and play indicated chords)

1st verse:

G  F#m7  D
Wishing,
Bm                   G     A
That I could see you every day.
G  F#m7  D
Wishing,
G                       A      D
That I could steal your heart away.

2nd verse:

Dreaming,
Of the time I can hold you tight.
Wishing,
That the time would come tonight.

Chorus:

G
I've been hoping all along,
C
Things would turn out right.
F
If I could find a wishing star,
Bb           A
Then I would spend the night,

Wishing,
That I could see you every day.
Wishing,
That I could steal your heart away.

(instrumental break)
