Wish You Well Cifras

Tune: Half-Step Down
 
 
[Intro]
D  Am
D  Am
D  Am  C G
 
[Verse 1]
D       Am    D            Am
See the end see the end of time
D       Am        C                 G
From the widow's walk I feel the undertow
D       Am    D            Am
It grows and my fishin' pole
D       Am        C                 G
Like a willow bends toward the blackest hole
D       Am   C  G
To the hole
D       Am    D            Am
See the film see the black and whites
D       Am        C                 G
Circle stationed stupid to the tape that rolls
D       Am    D            Am
My soul receives another blow
D       Am        C                 G
From the flashlight of the city hate line
D       Am        C     G
Oh oh ooh ooh ooh ooh
 
[Chorus]
F              C
I wish you well
                    F            C
I tell you that it can be helped
   G          Am            D
I told you it can be helped
 
[Bridge]
D  Am  D  Am
 
[Verse 2]
D       Am    D            Am
See the bad dreams that you speak about
D       Am        C                 G
And all the things you bring to light are comin' down
D       Am    D            Am
Now everybody hit the ground
D       Am        C                 G
Fear is on the march and in the lost and found
D       Am    D            Am
These are the times to read between the lines
D       Am        C                 G
Yeah my truck runneth over false prophet signs
D       Am        C
And road blocks
          G
In the road
 
[Chorus]
F              C
I wish you well
                    F            C
I tell you that it can be helped
   G          Am            D
I told you it can be helped
 
[Bridge]
D  Am  D  Am
D  Am  C  G
 
(Los Angeles has been hit)
 
[Verse 3]
D       Am    D            Am
Newspaper cloaks to wrap the truth
D       Am        C                 G
Propagand-acid dropped on the youth
D       Am    D            Am
It's easy to see like pulling a tooth
D       Am        C                 G
No one in line in the ballot booth
D       Am    D            Am
The Dragon down south may blow some smoke
D       Am        C                 G
Even the Jester is drummin' up votes
D       Am    D            Am
They talk about building morale and hope
D       Am        C                 G
They're just building bigotry a better rope
D       Am    D            Am
One that won't break one you can't even see
D       Am        C                 G
One made of paper and policies
 
[Chorus]
F              C
I wish you well
                    F            C
I tell you that it can be helped
   G          Am            D
I told you it can be helped
   G          Am     D
It can be helped
                    F     C
Oh but it can be helped
