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


[Verse 2]
  D                               G
And I wish I was young again my song still to be sung again
      D                                            A
The sweet tunes of my life have gone sour and off key;
   D                           G
Writin' my tired old rhymes tryin to turn back time
   D                                  A           D
If wishes were fishes we'd all cast nets in the sea.



[Chorus]
     G           A         D            G
If wishes were fishes I know where I'd be
   D                                 A
Casting my net in the dark rolling sea;
 G                A              D             G
And if my net's empty when it comes back to shore
       D                               A
I'll throw it away and go fishing no more


[Verse 3]
  D                          G
I wish I could care again reach out and share again
  D                                        A
Mend what's been broken and let - it run free;
     D                             G
The older I get it seems the more wishin' takes the place of dreams
     D                                A           D
If wishes were fishes we'd all cast nets in the sea


[Instrumental]
D G D A D G D A D


[Chorus]
     G           A         D            G
If wishes were fishes I know where I'd be
   D                                 A
Casting my net in the dark rolling sea;
     G            A              D             G
And if my net's empty when it comes back to shore
       D                               A
I'll throw it away and go fishing no more


[Verse 4] 
D                            G
I wish I was home again at home in my heart again
         D                                       A
It's been a long time since my heart talked to me;
  D                         G
Wastin' my precious days wishin' my life away
    D                                 A           G    D
If wishes were fishes we'd all cast nets in the sea
