IF WISHES WERE HORSES
 by James Hill

[INTRO]
B E A
E C#m A B E

[VERSE]
       E         A
It was already August,
    B              E
The first blush of autumn
       C#m           A         E
In the cheeks of the maple and ash
      E       A
I was so busy mindin'
   B             E        C#m
My business that I didn't see her
         A           E
'til she asked me to dance

[VERSE]
      E             A
Now I don't like my chances
   B           E         C#m
Of puttin' her beauty in words
         A         E
But I'll give it a try:
    E            B
Her eyes were as blue as 
       E        A
A Hank Williams song
        C#m
And her voice is like 
   B        E
an old lullaby

[CHORUS]
   B
If wishes were horses 
     E
we'd ride together
A           E               B
Chasing the wind 'cross the plains
   C#m         B         E
If longing was midsummer rain
    A        E
I'd turn the canyons
     C#m  B       E    A E
Into deep rivers again

[VERSE]
    E          A
The dancefloor was hot
   B             E
As greenhouse in June
        C#m        A         E
And the band swung like a trapeze
      E        A
And I held her as close
   B              E         C#m
As I dare to then spun her around
       A           E
Like a leaf in the breeze

[VERSE]
E         A
One song, one dance
B             E
Sometimes you only get
C#m           A            E
One chance to let you love show
    E             B
And I still can't explain
      E        A
Why I hid mine away
       C#m      B        E
Like a daffodil under the snow

[CHORUS]
   B
If wishes were horses 
     E
we'd ride together
A           E               B
Chasing the wind 'cross the plains
   C#m         B         E
If longing was midsummer rain
    A        E
I'd turn the canyons
     C#m  B       E    A E A 
Into deep rivers again

[INSTRUMENTAL]

C#m A E

[VERSE]
   E        A
No whiskey, no gin
   E       A
No trouble I'm in
    C#m           A     E
Can chase her out of my mind
E            B
Where do you go
     E           A
When time passes slow
    C#m      B          E
And love has left you behind?

[DOUBLE CHORUS]
   B
If wishes were horses 
     E
we'd ride together
A           E               B
Chasing the wind 'cross the plains
   C#m         B         E
If longing was midsummer rain
    A        E
I'd turn the canyons
     C#m  B       E
Into deep rivers again
   B
If wishes were horses 
     E
we'd ride together
A           E               B
Chasing the wind 'cross the plains
   C#m         B         E
If longing was midsummer rain
    A        E
I'd turn the canyons
     C#m  B       E   A E Aadd9
Into deep rivers again
