This is my first tab, but a song that I did a long time ago for extra credit in my french class:) It should work nicely with the auto-scroll, so you can just enjoy playing, singing, and being happy:) [Intro] G C D G G C D G [Verse]
    G                               C
The flower said "I wish I was a tree"

                              D
The tree said "I wish I could be
A different kind of tree"
    G
The cat wished that it was a bee

    G
The turtle wished that it could fly

C
Really high into the sky

D
Over rooftops and then dive

G
Deep into the sea
[Verse]
    G
And in the sea there is a fish

  C
A fish that has a secret wish

  D
A wish to be a big cactus

       G
With a pink flower on it

    G
And in the sea there is a fish

  C
A fish that has a secret wish

  D
A wish to be a big cactus

       G
With a pink flower on it
[Chorus]
        G
And the flower

              C
Would be it's offering

   D
Of love

       G
To the desert

        G
And the desert

           C
So dry and lonely

         D                            G
That the creatures all appreciate the effort
[Verse]
G
Et le jackalope a dit (And the jackalope said)

C
"Je voudrais être un yeti (I wish I was a yeti)

D
Pour voler dans la nuit (to fly into the night)

   G
Et m'en aller loin d'ici" (and then go far from here)

G
Mais le yeti a dit (But the yeti said)

C
"Je voudrais être un monstre marin (I would like to be a sea monster)

D
Pour pouvoir rentre dans la mer (To dive into the sea)

G
De tous les requins" (Of all the sharks)
[Verse]
        G                              C
And the rattlesnake said "I wish I had hands

                          D
So I could hug you like a man"
And then the cactus said
 G
"Don't you understand?

   G
My skin is covered with sharp spikes

        C
That'll stab you like a thousand knives

  D                             G
A hug would be nice but hug my flower with your eyes"
[Verse]
    G                           C
The flower said "I wish I was a tree"

                              D
The tree said "I wish I could be
A different kind of tree"
    G
The cat wished that it was a bee

    G
The turtle wished that it could fly

C
Really high into the sky

D
Over rooftops and then dive

G
Deep into the sea
[Verse]
    G
And in the sea there is a fish

  C
A fish that has a secret wish

  D
A wish to be a big cactus

       G
With a pink flower on it

    G
And in the sea there is a fish

  C
A fish that has a secret wish

  D
A wish to be a big cactus

       G
With a pink flower on it
[Chorus]
        G
And the flower

              C
Would be it's offering

   D
Of love

       G
To the desert

        G
And the desert

           C
So dry and lonely

         D                            G
That the creatures all appreciate the effort
