The Good Life
Tune To Drop D
Intro:     D       A(6x)
DI wish I was a buAmble bee
I wDish I lived to lAove my queen
FlyDing from flower to flAower all day
And I daDnce if I had someAthing to say
EveDrybody workin’ to fAeed our babies
Such a siDmple and honest commAunity
Not maDkin’ money, just maAkin’ honey
I wDish that I could mAake somethin’ that sweet.
    D       A(6x)
DI wish I was a mouAntain goat
I wDish I didn’t know the thAings I know
I’d eat alDpine flowers for luAnch each day
I’d take nDaps in the sun in some seAcret place
Livin’ hDigh peaks all covAered in snow
In the vaDlleys that no one elAse could go
What some pDeople call danger, I cAall my home
And I’d neDver have to hear another teAlephone
    D       A(8x)
DI wish that I could Abe them both
AnyDthing’s better than beAin’ a ghost
I wDish I was alAive
I wDish nobody ever hAad to die
I wDish I was alAive
I wDish nobody ever hAad to die
Outro:
          D       A(12x)

I wish I was a mountain goat

I wish I didn’t know the things I know

I’d eat alpine flowers for lunch each day

I’d take naps in the sun in some secret place

Livin’ high peaks all covered in snow

In the valleys that no one else could go

What some people call danger, I call my home

D A

And I’d never have to hear another telephone
