Chords for Barbara Fairchild - The Teddy Bear Song

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
I wish I had button eyes and a red [D] felt nose _
[E] Shaggy cotton skin and just one set [A] of clothes _
Sitting on a shelf in a local [D] department store _ _
[E] With no dreams to dream and nothing to be [A] sorry for
I wish I was a [D] teddy bear
[E] I _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
wish I was _ _ [D] a teddy bear
[A] And I'm wishing that I [E] hadn't fallen in [A] love with you
I wish I had a wooden heart and a [D] soda smile _
[E] Then your memory wouldn't come around hurting [A] all the time _
I wish I had a soda smile and a painted twinkle [D] in my eye _
[E] And I never would've _ [A] learned how to cry
I wish I was a [D] teddy bear
Not [E] living or _ _ _ [A] _ dead
I wish I _ was a [D] teddy bear
[A] And I'm wishing that I [E] hadn't fallen in [A] love with you
_ _ _ _ [Bb] I wish I had a string you could pull to [Eb] make me sing
I'm _ [F] _ telling you, ain't it a [Bb] lovely day
_ Then I'd know every time I spoke the [Eb] words would lie
And [F] no one would miss I made of my life
[Bb] I wish I was a [Eb] teddy bear
_ _ [F] _ _ [F] _
_ [Bb] _ I wish I was a [Eb] teddy bear
_ And I'm [Bb] wishing that I [F] hadn't fallen in [Bb] love with you
And I'm wishing that I [F] hadn't fallen in love with [Cm] you
[Bb] _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
