intro with an arpeggio on the C to lead into the first Am (because, i think, the second
"i wish" is actually the first beat).  it's an easy song to get the rhythm and feel for once
you figure out the timing for transition.  it's a nice song, obviously not musically complex.
tweaked a few lyrics from what i found.  please comment.


Song: I Wish My Baby Was Born
Album: Cold Mountain Soundtrack
Artist: Tim Eriksen



            Am              C
I wish, I wish my baby was born
            Am            G
And sitting on its papa's knee
            Am                                    C
And me poor girl (and me poor girl) were dead and gone
                    G               C
And the green grass growin' o'er my feet
         Am                   C
I ain't ahead, nor never will be
                   G                     C
'Til a sweet apple grows on a sour apple tree
            Am                                    C
But still I hope (but still I hope) the time will come
             G             C
When you and I shall be as one


          Am               C
I wish, I wish my love had died
             G              C
And sent her soul to wander free
              Am                                     C
Then we might meet (then we might meet) where ravens fly
             G              C
Let our poor bodies rest in peace
             Am              C
The owl, the owl is a lonely bird
             Am                   C
It chills my heart with dread and terror
               Am                 C
That someone's blood there on his wing
               G                  C
That someone's blood there on his feather
