Wish You Well

Mark Lanegan


Tom: A

Intro: B

E
He wrote a name
                B
With the needle gun
In black and blue
Your eyes are stone she said
E
Beautiful and dead
               B
And I wish you well
A
I took a turn on this carousel
E
How long ago now, I never can tell
B
I never stopped to wonder
E                D                 B
Maybe a morning, maybe, a thousand years
E
I only walk high wires
D
Attend a needing
        B
The magnolia's dying
A
Long coarse and primitive
E
I wish love, lord
                       B
I wish love could live, forever
A                                       E
What I once saw burning bright as hell, now here comes that weird chill
B
I don't stop to wonder
E
Threaded a name
                    B
Through the needle's eye
As a frame
Tied the ends and stitched it up
    E
And hung my head down and wept
               B
But I wish you well
A
Who'll pray for the killer's sake
E                       B
I used to be so wide awake
E
Like certain mornings
D                    B
That last a thousand hours
E
Long coarse and primitive
D
I wish love, lord
                       B
I wish love could live forever
A                           E                        B
I'm burning bright as hell, here comes that weird chill
                A
But I wish you well
                             E
Your eyes are stone she said, truly beautiful and dead
B
I wish you well
A                                E
I want to ride on this carousel
                               B
But, I never really stopped to wonder
