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

                  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
