I Wish My Baby Was Born (failed - reindex) Tim Eriksen
i was trying to find a tab or chord progression for this song, but couldn't find one.
looked on youtube and couldn't really find much there either, but i did manage to pick
out the basic chords after listening to the full version a few times. capo on the 3rd
fret and it'll be in the same key as the recording from the soundtrack. again, just the
basic chords here, but pick and pluck with hammer ons and offs to get the right
melody. pretty easy tune to figure out.
(standard tuning)
(capo 3rd fret)
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.

I wish, I wi[Am]sh my baby was b[C]orn
And sitting [Am]on its papa's [G]knee
And me poor [Am]girl (and me poor girl) were dead and [C]gone
And the green grass [G]growin' o'er my [C]feet
I ain't a[Am]head, nor never will [C]be
'Til a sweet apple [G]grows on a sour apple [C]tree
But still I [Am]hope (but still I hope) the time will [C]come
When you and [G]I shall be as [C]one
I wish, I [Am]wish my love had [C]died
And sent her [G]soul to wander [C]free
Then we might [Am]meet (then we might meet) where ravens [C]fly
Let our poor [G]bodies rest in [C]peace
The owl, the [Am]owl is a lonely [C]bird
It chills my [Am]heart with dread and [C]terror
That someone's [Am]blood there on his [C]wing
That someone's [G]blood there on his [C]feather
