I WISH

[Verse 1]

D#m G#7 D#m G#7 D#m G#7


D#m G#7
Looking back on when I, was a little nappy headed boy.
D#m G#7 D#m G#7 D#m
G#7 D#m G#7
Then my only worry, was for Christmas; what would be my toy.

[Bridge 1]

A#7 C7 Fm7 G#m6


Even though we sometimes would not get a thing;
A#7 C7 Fm7 A#7#5
We were happy with the joy the day would bring.

[Verse 2]

D#m G#7
Sneaking out the back door,
D#m G#7 D#m G#7 D#m G#7
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine.
D#m G#7
Greeted at the back door,
D#m G#7 D#m G#7 D#m
G#7
With; "boy, I thought I told you not to go out-side?"

[Bridge 2]

A#7 C7 Fm7 G#m6


Tryin' your best to bring the water to you eyes.
A#7 C7 Fm7 A#7#5
Thinkin' it might stop her, from whoopin' your be-hind.
I WISH
[Chorus 1]

D#m G#7 D#m G#7


I wish those days, could, come back once more,
D#m G#7 D#m G#7
Why did those days, e -ver have to go?

D#m G#7 D#m G#7


I wish those days, could, come back once more,
D#m G#7 D#m G#7
(D#m)
Why did those days, e -ver have to go? 'Cos I love them so.

[Break]

D#m G#7 D#m G#7


Do do do do, do do do do, do do do do.
D#m G#7 D#m G#7
Do do do do, do do do do, do do do do.

[Verse 3]

D#m G#7
Brother says he's tellin',
D#m G#7 D#m G#7 D#m G#7
'Bout you playing doctor with that girl.
D#m G#7
Just don't tell; I'll give you,
D#m G#7 D#m G#7 D#m G#7
Anything you want in this whole wide world.

[Bridge 3]

A#7 C7 Fm7 G#m6


Mama gives you money, for Sunday school,
A#7 C7 Fm7 A#7#5
You trade yours for candy, after church is through.
I WISH

[Verse 4]

D#m G#7
Smokin' ciga-rettes and,
D#m G#7 D#m G#7 D#m G#7
And writing something nasty on the wall, (you nasty boy!)
D#m G#7 D#m G#7 D#m
G#7
Teacher sends you to the principals of-fice down the hall.

[Bridge 4]

A#7 C7 Fm7 G#m6


You grow up and learn that, kinda thing ain't right.
A#7 C7 Fm7 A#7#5
But while you were doin' it; it sure felt outta sight.

[Chorus 2]

D#m G#7 D#m G#7


I wish those days, could, come back once more,
D#m G#7 D#m G#7
Why did those days, e -ver have to go?

D#m G#7 D#m G#7


I wish those days, could, come back once more,
D#m G#7 D#m G#7
Why did those days, e -ver have to go?

D#m G#7 D#m G#7


I wish those days, could, come back once more,
D#m G#7 D#m G#7
Why did those days, e -ver have to go?

D#m G#7 D#m G#7


I wish those days, could, come back once more,
I WISH
D#m G#7 D#m G#7
(D#m)
Why did those days, e -ver have to go? 'Cos I love them so.

[Outro]
