This is the version the Dubliners did live with Emelda May on her christmas special. Different lyrics than the old standard, and don't forget to put a CAPO on the 5th FRET to play along. You can find it on YT Super simple song, but a great sing-a-long at the lock in If you like it, Rate it please flatwound I WISH I HAD SOMEONE TO LOVE ME CAPO 5th FRET FOR TRACK A D A A E I wish I had someone to love me, Someone to call me their own A D A D E A Someone to sleep with me nightly, I'm weary of sleeping alone A D A A E Meet me tonight in the moonlight, Meet me tonight all alone A D A D E A I have a sad story to tell you, I'm telling it under the moon A D A A E I wish I had someone to love me, Someone to call me their own A D A D E A Someone to sleep with me nightly, I'm weary of sleeping alone A D A A E Though it's our last night together, Nearest and dearest to part A D A D E A The love that has held us together, Is shredded and torn on the path A D A A E I wish I had someone to love me, Someone to call me their own A D A D E A Someone to sleep with me nightly, I'm weary of sleeping alone A D A A E I wish I had ships on the ocean, I'd lace them with silver and gold A D A D E A And sail to the banks of my true love, A lass of just nineteen years old A D A A E I wish I had someone to love me, Someone to call me their own A D A D E A Someone to sleep with me nightly, I'm weary of sleeping alone A D A A E I wish I had wings of a swallow, Flying out over the sea A D A D E A I'd fly to the arms of my true love, And bring her home safely to me A D A A E I wish I had someone to love me, Someone to call me their own A D A D E A Someone to sleep with me nightly, I'm weary of sleeping alone D E A I'm weary of sleeping alone
