I WISH

Key: Gb

 -6*  7*  -6* -6 -5*  5*
Look-ing back on when I
-6* 7*-6* -6  -5* 5  -5* -5* -5* 
Was a lit-tle nap-py head-ed boy
 -6* 7* -6*-6 -5* 5*
Then my on-ly wor-ry
-6*  7*   7*   -6*  -5*   5* -5*-5* -5*    
Was for Christ-mas what would be my toy
-6 -6   -6   -6   7    7
Ev-en though we some-times
  7*   7*  7 -6  -5*
Would not get a thing
-6  -6  -6  -6  7   -6
We were hap-py with the
 7*  7*  7*   7*   -7*
Joy the day would bring

 -6*   7* -6* -6   -5*  5*
Sneak-ing out the back door
-5* -6*  7*  -6*   -6
To hang out with those 
 -5*  5*   -5*   -5* -5*
Hood-lum friends of mine
-6*-6-5*5-3* 
  Oooh.  
 -6*  7* -6* -6  -5*   5   
Greet-ed at the back door
-3*  -3*-3*  -6*   7* 7*  -6* 
With boy I thought I told you 
-5* 5*-5* -5*  -5*
not to go out-side,
  -6  -6   -6  -6   7    7 
Try'n the best to bring the
 7* 7* 7   -6  -5*
Wat-er to your eyes
  -6  -6 -6  -6     7   7
Think-in it might stop her
 -4   7*  7*  7*  7*  -7*
From woop-in your be-hind

7* -6*   7*  -7*    7*  -7*   -7*  -6*  7*
I wish those days could come back once more
-5* -6*   7*  -7*  7* -7* 7*  7* -6* 
Why did those days ev-er have to go
-5*-6*   7*  -7*    7*   -7*  -7* -6*   7*
I wish those days could come back once more
-5* -6*   7*  -7*  7* -7* 7*  7* -6*
Why did those days ev-er have to go
 -5* -6* -6*  -6* -5* 
Cause I loved them so

 -6*  7*  -6*  -6  -5*  5*  
Broth-er says he's tell-in'
 -6*   7*  -6* -6 -5*  5  -5*  -5*  -5*  
'bout you play-in doc-tor with that girl
-6*   7*   -6*   -6  -5*   5*
Just don't tell I'll give you
-6*7*  7*  -6*  -5*
An-y-thing you want 
5*  -5*  -5*   -5*  -5*
in this whole wide world
-6 -6   -6  -6   7  7   7*  7  -6   -5*
Ma-ma gives you mon-ey for Sun-day school
-6    -6    -6  -6   7  -6
You trade yours for can-dy 
7*  7*   7*   7*   -7*
Af-ter church is through

 -6* 7*  -6* -6  -5* 5*-5* -6*  7*
Smok-in' cig-a-rettes and writ-ing 
 -6*   -6  -5* 5*-5* -5* -5*
Some-thing nas-ty on the wall 
 -6*-6-5* 5 -3*    
(you nas-ty boy)
 -6*  7*  -6*  -6  -5* 5   -6* 7*  7*  
Teach-er sends you to the prin-ci-pal's 
-6* -5*5*-5* -5* -5*  
Of-fice down the hall
-6   -6  -6 -6    7     7
You grow up and learn that 
  7* 7*   7   -6    -5*
Kind-a thing ain't right
-6   -6   -6   -6    7    7
But while you were doin' it
-4  7*   7*   7* 7*  -7*
it sure felt out-ta sight

7* -6*   7*  -7*    7*  -7*   -7*  -6*  7*
I wish those days could come back once more
-5* -6*   7*  -7*  7* -7* 7*  7* -6* 
Why did those days ev-er have to go
-5*-6*   7*  -7*    7*   -7*  -7* -6*   7*
I wish those days could come back once more
-5* -6*   7*  -7*  7* -7* 7*  7* -6*
Why did those days ev-er have to go
 -5* -6* -6*  -6* -5* 
Cause I loved them so

7*-6* 7*-6* 7*-6* 7*-6* 7*-7* 7*-6*
Do do do do do do do do do do  do do
7*-6* 7*-7* 7*-6* 7*-6* 7*-6* 
do do do do do do do do do do
