Wishing Tab

by Buddy Holly




In my opinion, one of the prettiest songs
ever written.  Buddy intended it for the
Everly Brothers.

"Wishing" -- Buddy Holly and Bob Montgomery

(capo 4th fret and play indicated chords)

1st verse:

    
Wishing,
                        
That I could see you every day.
    
Wishing,
                             
That I could steal your heart away.

2nd verse:

Dreaming,
Of the time I can hold you tight.
Wishing,
That the time would come tonight.

Chorus:


I've been hoping all along,

Things would turn out right.

If I could find a wishing star,
           
Then I would spend the night,

Wishing,
That I could see you every day.
Wishing,
That I could steal your heart away.

(instrumental break)
