(standard tuning)
(capo 3rd fret)

intro with an arpeggio on the C to lead into the first Am (because, i think, the second
"i wish" is actually the first beat).  it's an easy song to get the rhythm and feel for once
you figure out the timing for transition.  it's a nice song, obviously not musically complex.
tweaked a few lyrics from what i found.  please comment.


Song: I Wish My Baby Was Born
Album: Cold Mountain Soundtrack
Artist: Tim Eriksen



            A5              C5
I wish, I wish my baby was born
            A5            G5
And sitting on its papa's knee
            A5                                    C5
And me poor girl (and me poor girl) were dead and gone
                    G5               C5
And the green grass growin' o'er my feet
         A5                   C5
I ain't ahead, nor never will be
                   G5                     C5
'Til a sweet apple grows on a sour apple tree
            A5                                    C5
But still I hope (but still I hope) the time will come
             G5             C5
When you and I shall be as one


          A5               C5
I wish, I wish my love had died
             G5              C5
And sent her soul to wander free
              A5                                     C5
Then we might meet (then we might meet) where ravens fly
             G5              C5
Let our poor bodies rest in peace
             A5              C5
The owl, the owl is a lonely bird
             A5                   C5
It chills my heart with dread and terror
               A5                 C5
That someone's blood there on his wing
               G5                  C5
That someone's blood there on his feather
