[Verse 1]
Once
upon a time [G]there was [C]a man who scorned his wife
He was never happy with
his lot or with his [G]life
[C]His manners they were miserable
And he couldn't be polite
and his wife found a [G]wishing
well [C]one morning
[F]She said I

[Verse 2]
[G]wish to all you'll hear [C]me
I [G]wish with all I see
Take this man and make [C]him small
As small as [Am]he can be...
[F][G][C]

[Verse 3]
This man he was as [G]spoilt as [C]the
cat that got the [G]cream
[C]He would shout and swear and [G]carry
on [C]like you have never [G]seen
[C]Childlike and stubborn
like a mule by the [G]sea
then his [Am]wife found [F]a wishing
well one [G]morning
[C]She said I

[Verse 4]
[G]wish to all you'd [C]hear me
I [G]wish with all I see
Take this man and [C]make him kind
As kind as he [Am]can [F]be..[G].

[Verse 5]
pleas[G]ure
[C]in the beauty of the [G]land
[C]Money was the only thing that
he could under[G]stand
[C]Selfish as a clam he was
Let all the rest be [G]damned
then his [Am]wife found a [F]wishing
well one [G]morning

[Verse 6]
[C]She said I wis[G]h to all you'll hea[C]r me
I wish [G]with all I see
Take this man and [C]make him smile
As happy [Am]as can [F]be...

[Verse 7]
That [C]night they fell asleep within
the [F]comfort [C]of that bed
A strange wind was whispering
just [F]what the wife had [G]said
In the [C]morning where the man had laid
there was a dog in[G]stead
and his [Am]wife cried for joy
[F]in the morn[G]ing!
[C]She said I

[Verse 8]
[G]wish to all you'll [C]hear me
I wish [G]with all I see
Take this man and [C]make him mine
For all [Am]eternity...
