[VERSE 1]

[G]When I was 16, our [D]farm burned down
my [Em]daddy took to drinkin, all [C]over town
[G]I raised my brothers in the [D]old motel
Went from l[Em]ivin in Heaven, to s[C]tarvin in hellllll
And [D]then one day I heard a [G]knock at the door
I [Em]opened it up, and saw a [C]boot on the [D]flooooooooor!!

[CHORUS]
It was the wishin [G]boooooot
The wishin [D]boooooot
The l[Em]ittle black boot that makes your dreams come t[C]ruuue!
It was the wishin [G]boooooot,
It was full of [D]foooood,
[Em]When you're in n[D]eed.. just b[C]elieeeeeve,
In the wishin [G]boot....

[VERSE 2]
[G]When I was young, no one t[D]aught me wrong from right,
Started s[Em]tealin trucks by-day, and [C]hookin by niiiight,
[G]Goin nowhere fast, in a [D]one-horse town,
Shot a [Em]john in Amarillo, and they [C]took me dooOOooown...
[D]I was in jail facin [G]20 to life,
Til the [Em]warden said there's a visitor here
[C]Who wants to say [D]hiiiiiIIIIIII!!

[CHORUS]
It was the wishin [G]booooooot!
The wishin [D]booooooot!
It [Em]paid my bail and bought me a new [C]suuuuit..
Cuz that boot could [G]see... see the good in [D]meeee
[Em]Next day-by da[D]wn, it was g[C]oooooone...
The wishin [G]booooot....

[VERSE 3]
I was [G]workin in the barn, with my [D]old dog Jake,
When the [Em]wishin boot appeared, and I thought, t[C]his is a mistake
I [G]walked up to the boot to say, e[D]verything's alright,
Then the [Em]boot pulled out a knife, and [C]threatened my liiiife.
[D]This was not the wishin boot - [G]it was a fake.
And [Em]suddenly my good ole dog [C]began to change s[D]haaaape!

[CHORUS]
It was the wishin [G]boooot!
The real wishin [D]booooot!
The [Em]whole dang time the dog had been the [C]boooot.
The wishin [G]boooooot! Beautiful and [D]truuuuue!
[Em]You're so much [C]more than a [D]booooooooot!
You're the wishin [G]boot...
