Wish It Was True Chords

(ver. 1)
The White Buffalo
My take on this wonderful song, recently heard on Sons of Anarchy.  The Cadd9 is 
probably actually an F or a variation thereof, but I find it easier to add the 
finger picking with this, and it sounds pretty true to the original.

Standard tuning, capo 7th.


G		  Cadd9    G
Mother, Try to do right by you

To do what you asked me to
       D	   G
I did wrong and I knew.

Mother I tried to behave for you 
Now I’m a digging a grave for you 
It was all I could do. 

D				      C
Find a way back home, Make everything new 
		  G
But I wish it was true.

Father, well I’ll give my soul to you
I came in blind folded for you 
It was all that I knew.

Open your arms and I’ll fly out of hell up to you
I wish it was true.

Am			 C
Boy come on out from the cold
				  G
Your lost outside there don’t you know
				 D
It’s not what you say it was you do
				  Am
Just keep wishing your wishes are true
			       C
Well your dreams there reality now
			    G
There’s no pain there’s no misery
			      D
Just polish the blood and the bruise
				C
For there’s just no way you can lose.
		  G
But I wish it was true.

Country, I was a solider for you
I did what you asked me to 
It was wrong and you knew.

Country, now I’m just a stranger to you
A number a name it’s true
Throw me away when you’re through.

D						  C
Home of the brave and free the, the red white and blue
		  G
But I wish it was true.
