This is my first tab, but a song that I did a long time ago for extra credit in my
french class:) It should work nicely with the auto-scroll, so you can just enjoy
playing, singing, and being happy:)
[Intro]
G C D G
G C D G
[Verse]
The Gflower said "I wish I was a treeC"
The tree said "I wish I could Dbe
A different kind of tree"
The Gcat wished that it was a bee
The Gturtle wished that it could fly
CReally high into the sky
DOver rooftops and then dive
GDeep into the sea
[Verse]
And Gin the sea there is a fish
A Cfish that has a secret wish
A Dwish to be a big cactus
With a Gpink flower on it
And Gin the sea there is a fish
A Cfish that has a secret wish
A Dwish to be a big cactus
With a Gpink flower on it
[Chorus]
And the Gflower
Would be it's Coffering
Of Dlove
To the Gdesert
And the Gdesert
So dry and Clonely
That the Dcreatures all appreciate the Geffort
[Verse]
GEt le jackalope a dit (And the jackalope said)
C"Je voudrais être un yeti (I wish I was a yeti)
DPour voler dans la nuit (to fly into the night)
Et Gm'en aller loin d'ici" (and then go far from here)
GMais le yeti a dit (But the yeti said)
C"Je voudrais être un monstre marin (I would like to be a sea monster)
DPour pouvoir rentre dans la mer (To dive into the sea)
GDe tous les requins" (Of all the sharks)
[Verse]
And the Grattlesnake said "I wish I had Chands
So I could hug you like a Dman"
And then the cactus said
"GDon't you understand?
My Gskin is covered with sharp spikes
That'll Cstab you like a thousand knives
A Dhug would be nice but hug my fGlower with your eyes"
[Verse]
The Gflower said "I wish I was a Ctree"
The tree said "I wish I could Dbe
A different kind of tree"
The Gcat wished that it was a bee
The Gturtle wished that it could fly
CReally high into the sky
DOver rooftops and then dive
GDeep into the sea
[Verse]
And Gin the sea there is a fish
A Cfish that has a secret wish
A Dwish to be a big cactus
With a Gpink flower on it
And Gin the sea there is a fish
A Cfish that has a secret wish
A Dwish to be a big cactus
With a Gpink flower on it
[Chorus]
And the Gflower
Would be it's Coffering
Of Dlove
To the Gdesert
And the Gdesert
So dry and Clonely
That the Dcreatures all appreciate the Geffort

This is my first tab, but a song that I did a long time ago for extra credit in my

french class:) It should work nicely with the auto-scroll, so you can just enjoy

playing, singing, and being happy:)

[Intro]

G C D G

[Verse]

G C

The flower said "I wish I was a tree"

The tree said "I wish I could be

A different kind of tree"

The cat wished that it was a bee

The turtle wished that it could fly

Really high into the sky

Over rooftops and then dive

Deep into the sea

[Verse]

And in the sea there is a fish

A fish that has a secret wish

A wish to be a big cactus

With a pink flower on it

And in the sea there is a fish

A fish that has a secret wish

A wish to be a big cactus

With a pink flower on it

[Chorus]

And the flower

Would be it's offering

Of love

To the desert

And the desert

So dry and lonely

D G

That the creatures all appreciate the effort

[Verse]

Et le jackalope a dit (And the jackalope said)

"Je voudrais être un yeti (I wish I was a yeti)

Pour voler dans la nuit (to fly into the night)

Et m'en aller loin d'ici" (and then go far from here)

Mais le yeti a dit (But the yeti said)

"Je voudrais être un monstre marin (I would like to be a sea monster)

Pour pouvoir rentre dans la mer (To dive into the sea)

De tous les requins" (Of all the sharks)

[Verse]

G C

And the rattlesnake said "I wish I had hands

So I could hug you like a man"

And then the cactus said

"Don't you understand?

My skin is covered with sharp spikes

That'll stab you like a thousand knives

D G

A hug would be nice but hug my flower with your eyes"

[Verse]

G C

The flower said "I wish I was a tree"

The tree said "I wish I could be

A different kind of tree"

The cat wished that it was a bee

The turtle wished that it could fly

Really high into the sky

Over rooftops and then dive

Deep into the sea

[Verse]

And in the sea there is a fish

A fish that has a secret wish

A wish to be a big cactus

With a pink flower on it

And in the sea there is a fish

A fish that has a secret wish

A wish to be a big cactus

With a pink flower on it

[Chorus]

And the flower

Would be it's offering

Of love

To the desert

And the desert

So dry and lonely

D G

That the creatures all appreciate the effort

[Outro]
