Tune To Drop D 

Intro: D    A     (6x) 

D                A 
I wish I was a bumble bee 
   D               A 
I wish I lived to love my queen 
   D                    A 
Flying from flower to flower all day 
        D                A 
And I dance if I had something to say 
   D                  A 
Everybody workin’ to feed our babies 
         D                   A 
Such a simple and honest community 
      D                  A 
Not makin’ money, just makin’ honey 
   D                 A                     
I wish that I could make somethin’ that sweet. 

D    A     (6x) 

D                 A 
I wish I was a mountain goat 
   D                       A 
I wish I didn’t know the things I know 
          D                  A 
I’d eat alpine flowers for lunch each day 
          D                        A 
I’d take naps in the sun in some secret place 
        D                A 
Livin’ high peaks all covered in snow 
         D                   A 
In the valleys that no one else could go 
           D                     A 
What some people call danger, I call my home 
          D                          A 
And I’d never have to hear another telephone 

D    A     (8x) 

D                   A 
I wish that I could be them both 
   D                     A 
Anything’s better than bein’ a ghost 
   D           A 
I wish I was alive 
   D                A 
I wish nobody ever had to die 
   D           A 
I wish I was alive 
   D                A 
I wish nobody ever had to die 

Outro: 
      D    A     (12x)
