I Wish I Were

  Eb
I wish I were a bird
     Bb             Eb                Ab             Eb
'Cause if I were a bird then I could take wing high above you
            Fm                   Bb
You could watch my white wings flap
             Db                Ab       Eb                Bb
And I could take a great big crap on anyone who tried to hurt you
          Cm7           Eb
But then I'd have to desert you
          F              Ab
Flying southward in the fall...
   Fm           Eb          Bb   Eb
I don't want to be a bird after all

[Verse 2]
   Eb
I wish I were a dog
     Bb             Eb                Ab             Eb
'Cause if I were a dog then I'd do tricks to show I love you
       Fm                   Bb
I could run and fetch the stick
             Db                Ab       Eb                Bb
And I could sit right down and lick my privates when your Mom came over
      Cm7           Eb
But if I was your Rover
         F        Ab
You'd have my testicles recalled...
 Fm           Eb          Bb   Eb
I don't want to be a dog after all

  Eb
I wish I were a deer
     Bb             Eb                Ab             Eb
'Cause if I were a deer then we could play out in the forest
        Fm             Bb
'Til you shot me by mistake
                Db             Ab         Eb          Bb
Then you would carve me into steak with a touch so sweet and gentle
        Cm7           Eb
Keep my head as a memento
        F               Ab
Hangin' in the upstairs hall...
   Fm           Eb          Bb   Eb
I don't want to be a deer after all

[Verse 4]
  Eb
I wish I were a monkey
     Bb             Eb                Ab             Eb
'Cause if I were a monkey, I could be your furry jester
       Fm              Bb
And whenever you were blue
              Db              Ab             Eb           Bb
You'd come and see me at the zoo; my antics would be reassurin'
             Cm7           Eb
But I would always reek of urine
               F           Ab
And throw my feces at the wall...
  Fm           Eb
I don't want to be a monkey
   Fm           Eb
I don't want to be a monkey
      Fm         Eb            Bb   Eb
No, I don't wanna be no monkey after all
