Song: I wish you well Producer: John Webster, T. Cochrane
Artist: Tom Cochrane Label: EMI Music Canada
Album: Ragged Ass Road
Transcribed By: Ryan Lloyd:
This tune is by one of the greatest Canadian song writers in modern
time. You should really sit down and listen to a few of his albums if
you haven't heard much of his stuff. He channels his feelings and
emotions into his music extremely well and I highly recomend buying any
of his C.D.'s.
Notes: For second verse play riff A with variations
This sounds right to me but if I screwed up anywhere please tell me
where
I wish you well
