Teddy Bear Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I wish I had button eyes
and a red goat [C]nose
[D]Shaggy cotton skin and
just one set of [G]clothes
Sitting on a shelf in a local
department [C]store
With [D]no dreams to dream
and nothing to be sorry [G]for
I wish I was a teddy [C]bear
Not living or [D]loving or going [G]nowhere
I wish I was a teddy [C]bear
And I'm [G]wishin' that I
hadn't [D]fallen in love with [G]you
I wish I had a wooden heart
and a sort of [C]smile
Then your [D]memory wouldn't
come around
hurtin' all the [G]time
I'd have a sewed on smile
and a painted twinkle in my [C]eye
And I [D]never would have
had to learn how to [G]cry
I wish I was a teddy [C]bear
Not living or [D]loving
Or going [G]nowhere
I wish I was a teddy [C]bear
Ž
And I'm [G]wishin' that I hadn't
[D]fallen in love with [G]you
[Eb]Ž
Ž
I [Ab]wish I had a string you could pull
to make me [Db]say Ž
Ž
[Eb]Hi I'm Teddy ain't it a lovely d[Ab]ay
Ž
Ž
Then I'd know every time I spoke
the words would [Db]rhyme Ž
And [Eb]no one could know
the mess that I made of my [Ab]life Ž
I wish I was a teddy [Db]bear
Ž
Not livin' or [Eb]lovin' or goin' nowhere
[Ab]Ž
I wish I was a teddy [Db]bear
Ž
And wish[Ab]ing that I hadn't
[Eb]fallen in love with [Ab]you
And wishing that I hadn't
[Eb]fallen in love with [Ab]you
