The Teddy Bear Song (I think I hear Emmylou Harris on harmony) written by Earl/Nixon 11/19/05 CAPO I INTRO: C C F Well I wish I had button eyes and a red felt nose G C Shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes C F Sittin' on a shelf in a local department store G C With no dreams to dream and nothin' to be sorry for CHORUS: C F I wish I was a teddy bear G C No livin' nor lovin' nor goin' nowhere C F I wish I was a teddy bear C G C And I wish that I never had fallen in love with you I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind Then your memory wouldn't come around hurtin' all the time With a sowed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eyes Then I never would've ever had to learn how to cry CHORUS (KEY CHANGE) D G I wish I had a string you could pull that would make me say A D What you wanna hear from me to make you stay D G And I'd know every time I spoke the words were right A D And no one would know what a mess I've made of my life CHORUS: D G I wish I was a teddy bear A D No livin' nor lovin' nor goin' nowhere D G I wish I was a teddy bear D A D And I wish that I never had fallen in love with you (repeat CHORUS and fade)
