Gavin’s Song
By Marc Broussard
Album: Carencro
The other versions of this are relatively good but this is a more correct albeit more
version. I think this is all technically correct, and if you can pull it off, it sounds great.
The chord names and diagrams are in relation to the capo.

I wish you freedom, I wish you peace
I wish you nights of stars, that beckon you to sleep
I wish you heartache, that leaves you more a man
I wish I could be there, but I can’t
I wish you places, that sit so still
Where people never ever change, and never ever will
I wish I could hold you and make you understand
I wish I could be there but I can’t
Bmin7
Be good for your momma
Cuz she’ll need a hand to hold
Bmin7
Boy she loves you more than you’ll ever know
Bmin7
There are rhymes and there are reasons and times when
Bmin7
nothing stayed the same, but you know my love still remains
I wish you wisdom, I wish you years
I wish you armies, to conquer all your fears
I wish you courage, for all that life demands
I wish I could be there, but I can’t
Bmin7
Be good for your momma
Cuz she’ll need a hand to hold
Bmin7
Boy she loves you more than you’ll ever know
Bmin7
There are rhymes and there are reasons and times when
Bmin7
nothing stayed the same, but you know my love still remains
I wish we were together, I wish I was home
I wish there were nights where I was never alone
I know I’ve said it but I’ll say it once again
I wish I could be there but I can’t
