I Wish

[Intro]
Cmaj7
     Hey,
Abmaj7                   Bmaj7    Gmaj7
this  is radio station W S    K E E
                  Cmaj7                Abmaj7
We're taking calls     on the wish line
                    Bmaj7            Gmaj7
Making your wacky wishes come true...
Hello?

[Chorus]
  Cmaj7               Abmaj7
I wish I was a little bit   taller,
               Bmaj7
I wish I was a baller
         Gmaj7
I wish I had  a girl who looked good,
        Cmaj7
I would call her
         Abmaj7                         Bmaj7
I wish I had   a rabbit in a hat with a bat
          Gmaj7
And a six four Impala

[Verse 1]
  Cmaj7                   Abmaj7
I wish I was like six foot      nine
                    Bmaj7                Gmaj7
So I can get with Leoshi 'Cause she don't
know me
But, yo, she's really fine
Cmaj7                   Abmaj7
     You know I see her all   the time
Everywhere I go
    Bmaj7
And even in my dreams
Gmaj7
I    can scheme of ways to make her mine
Cmaj7                    Abmaj7
     'Cause I know she's livin' phat
                    Bmaj7                  Gmaj7
Her boyfriend's tall     and he plays ball,
So how am I gonna compete with that?
Cmaj7                        Abmaj7
     'Cause when it comes to playing basketball
           Bmaj7
I'm always last to be picked
    Gmaj7
And in   some cases never picked at all
Cmaj7                  Abmaj7
     So I just lean up on    the wall
                 Bmaj7                          Gmaj7
Or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the girls
Who came to watch their man ball
Cmaj7              Abmaj7
     Dag, y'all! I never understood,
black
        Bmaj7             Gmaj7
Why the jocks get the fly girls
And me, I get the hood rats
Cmaj7                  Abmaj7
     I tell 'em, "Scat,      skittle,
scabobble"
               Bmaj7
Got hit with a bottle
             Gmaj7
And put in a hospital for talkin' that mess
Cmaj7          Abmaj7
     I confess it's  a shame
                     Bmaj7                Gmaj7
When you livin' in a city that's the size of   a box
                    Cmaj7           Abmaj7
And nobody knows yo'     name Glad I
came, to my senses
     Bmaj7
Like quick quick,
             Gmaj7
got sick sick     to my stomach
              Cmaj7
Overcometh by thoughts
          Abmaj7
Of me and her   together, right?
   Bmaj7
So when I asked her out,
    Gmaj7
she said I wasn't her type

[Chorus]
I wish I was a little bit taller,
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good,
I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
And a six four Impala
I wish I was a little bit taller,
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good,
I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
And a six four Impala

[Verse 2]
  Cmaj7                 Abmaj7
I wish I had a brand new      car so far,
           Bmaj7
I got this hatchback
         Gmaj7
And everywhere I go, yo,
I gets laughed at
Cmaj7                   Abmaj7
     And when I'm in my car   I'm laid back
         Bmaj7                        Gmaj7
I got an eight track, and a spare tire     in the backseat,
but that's flat
Cmaj7                 Abmaj7
     And do you wanna know  what's really wack?
       Bmaj7
See, I can't even get a date,
   Gmaj7
so whatchu think of that?
             Cmaj7                     Abmaj7
I heard that prom night is a bomb night
With a hood rat you can hold tight
    Bmaj7                    Gmaj7
But really though, I'm Figaro
                                   Cmaj7
When in my car, I can't even get a hello
Well,
   Abmaj7                       Bmaj7
so many people wanna cruise Crenshaw on Sunday
    Gmaj7
One day  I'ma have to get in my car and go
Cmaj7                    Abmaj7
     You know I take the one   ten until the one o five
Bmaj7               Gmaj7
     Get off at Crenshaw, tell my homies,
"Look alive!"
Cmaj7                 Abmaj7
     'Cause it's hard to    survive
                        Bmaj7
When you're living in a concrete jungle
Gmaj7                            Cmaj7
And  these girls keep Passin' Me By   
    Abmaj7               Bmaj7
She looks fly, she looks fly  
        Gmaj7
Make me say, "my, my, my"

[Chorus]
I wish I was a little bit taller,
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good,
I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
And a six four Impala
I wish I was a little bit taller,
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good,
I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
And a six four Impala

[Bridge]
  Cmaj7               Abmaj7
I wish I was a little bit   taller
Bmaj7         Gmaj7
     I wish I was  a baller
  Cmaj7               Abmaj7
I wish I was a little bit   taller,
y'all
Bmaj7         Gmaj7
     I wish I was  a baller
  Cmaj7               Abmaj7
I wish I was a little bit   taller,
y'all
Bmaj7         Gmaj7
     I wish I was  a baller
  Cmaj7               Abmaj7
I wish I was a little bit   taller,
y'all
Bmaj7         Gmaj7
     I wish I was  a baller

[Verse 3]
    Cmaj7             Abmaj7
Hey,     I wish I had my    way
                            Bmaj7
'Cause every day would be a Friday,
              Gmaj7
And you could even speed on the highway
Cmaj7             Abmaj7
     I would play ghetto games
             Bmaj7
Name my kids ghetto names:
   Gmaj7
Little  Mookie, Big Al, Lorraine
Cmaj7                    Abmaj7
     Yo, you know that's on    the real
             Bmaj7
So if you're down on your luck
     Gmaj7
Then you  should know just how I feel
Cmaj7                         Abmaj7
     'Cause if you don't want me    around
          Bmaj7
See, I go simple, I go easy,
Gmaj7
I    go Greyhound
Cmaj7    Abmaj7
Hey, you,      what's that sound?
Bmaj7          Gmaj7
Everybody look what's goin' down
Cmaj7    Abmaj7
Ah,  yes,      ain't that fresh?
Bmaj7              Gmaj7
Everybody wants to get  down like that

[Chorus]
Wish I was a little bit taller,
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good,
I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
And a six four Impala
I wish I was a little bit taller,
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good,
I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
And a six four Impala

[Outro]
Cmaj7 Abmaj7       Bmaj7 Gmaj7
            I wish,           I wish
Cmaj7 Abmaj7       Bmaj7 Gmaj7
            I wish,           I wish
Cmaj7 Abmaj7       Bmaj7 Gmaj7
            I wish,           I wish
Cmaj7 Abmaj7       Bmaj7 Gmaj7
            I wish,           I wish

[Fade Out]
Cmaj7 Abmaj7       Bmaj7 Gmaj7
            I wish,           I wish
Cmaj7 Abmaj7       Bmaj7 Gmaj7
            I wish,
