[Verse 1]
[G]I passed a[D] li[C]ttle shop,
[G]and there [D]I h[C]ad to stop
In[G]side the [Em]window was a
[Am]tarnished lamp of [D]gold
[G]But it too[C]k it home,
[G]and when I [C]got along
[G]Roughed it like the [Em]story I'd been
[Am]told so long [D]ago[Am][D]
[G]Genie, genie, [B]grant to me just
[Em]one wish and that [D]shou[G]ld be
[C]I hold her love instead of m[D]isery
[G]Genie, genie, [B]don't you know
[Em]Love must have a [D]time [G]to grow
[C]One wish can't make
it last [D]forevermore
[G]So it [C]came to be
[G]She fell [D]in [C]love with me
[G]But it didn't [Em]really work
out [Am]too [D]perfectly
[G]Genie had[C] been kind,
[G]but in too [C]little time
[G]He'd given [Em]love that
came to [Am]us too easily
[D]Gen[Am]ie,[D][G]
Genie, [B]grant to me
[Em]Just one wish and [G]that should be
[C]I hold her love instead of mis[D]ery
[G]Genie, genie, [B]don't you know,
[Em]love must have a [G]time to grow
[C]One wish can't make it
last [D]forever more
And [C]now the lamp stands [Cm]by itself,
an [G]ornament [Em]upon my shelf
[C]Pulling up some [D]books
I've never [G]read them
And [C]though the genie stands [Cm]alone I [G]got her love back [Em]on
my own I'll [A]never need the genie's help [Am]again[D]
[G]Genie, genie [B]grant to me
[Em]Just one wish and [G]that should be [C]I
hold her love instead of [D]misery
[G]Genie, genie, [B]don't you know, [Em]love must have a time [G]to grow,
[C]one wish can't make it last for[D]ever more.
