Lyrics & Chords: Wishful Thinker


by Jim Pembroke. Album: Tombstone Valentine (1970)
F   Bb   Gm   Bb   C


Bb        F        Bb      F
  Wishful thinker, how's today
Bb             D#    G#        C
  Where you're going, besides away, yeah
Bb        F       Bb            D#
  Wishful thinker, what did you say
G#          C
  Not long ago

     Gm
       I live within myself
     F                         Bb
       And that's the way I'll stay
     Gm                 Cm
       Maybe that's the reason
               Dm      F      G
       For the way you feel today

     Bb                Gm
       Stay awhile and speak with me
           A7                 D
       But if you can't, just say
     Gm                   D#
       Tell me what's the reason
                           1) D
               Dm          2) Dm          
       For the way you feel today


(organ solo on verse)

       I live within...

Bb        F       Bb       F
  Wishful thinker, why the sigh
Bb            D#     G#       C
  What you're saying, besides goodbye
Bb       F Bb            D#
  Wishful,   what did you say
            G#   C
  not long ago


       I live within...
                         
       Stay awhile...     

                          Bb   F   Bb   D#   G#   D#
