I Wish by Stevie Wonder off the album "Songs in the Key of Life" Transcribed by John Stewart
Intro: Ebm7 Ab7 Ebm7 Ab7.....
Lookin back on when I, was a little nappy headed boy,
Then my only worry, was for Christmas what would be my toy,
Even though we sometimes, would not get a thing,
We were happy with the, joy that they would bring,
(repeat as above) Sneakin out the back door to hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine Greeted at the back door with "I thought I told you not to go outside, Tryin the best to bring that water to your eye Thinkin it might stop her from whuppin your behind
I wish those days, could , come back once more
Why did those days ev-----er have to go
I wish those days, could, come back once more
Why did those days ev----er have to go, cause I loved 'em so...
Brother says hes tellin, bout you playin doctor with that girl Just don't tell Ill give you, anything you want in this whole wide world, Mama gives you money, for Sunday school You trade yours for candy, after chuch is through
Smokin cigarettes and writin somethin nasty on the wall Teacher sends you to the principle office down the hall You grow up and learn that kind of thing aint right But while you were doin it, it sure felt outta sight
I wish those days, could, come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go I wish those days, could, come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go, cause I loved em so.......
