Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
D 
C 
I passed a  little shop,
G 
D 
C 
and there I  had to stop
G 
Em 
Inside the window was a
Am 
D 
tarnished lamp of gold
G 
C 
But it took it home,
G 
C 
and when I got along
G 
Em 
Roughed it like the story I'd been
Am 
D 
Am 
D 
told so long ago
G 
B 
Genie, genie, grant to me just
Em 
D 
G 
one wish and that should be
C 
D 
I hold her love instead of misery
G 
B 
Genie, genie, don't you know
Em 
D 
G 
Love must have a time to grow
C 
One wish can't make
D 
it last forevermore
G 
C 
So it came to be
G 
D 
C 
She fell in love with me
G 
Em 
But it didn't really work
Am 
D 
out too perfectly
G 
C 
Genie had been kind,
G 
C 
but in too little time
G 
Em 
He'd given love that
Am 
came to us too easily
D 
Am 
D 
G 
Genie,
B 
Genie, grant to me
Em 
G 
Just one wish and that should be
C 
D 
I hold her love instead of misery
G 
B 
Genie, genie, don't you know,
Em 
G 
love must have a time to grow
C 
One wish can't make it
D 
last forever more
C 
Cm 
And now the lamp stands by itself,
G 
Em 
an ornament upon my shelf
C 
D 
Pulling up some books
G 
I've never read them
C 
Cm 
G 
Em 
And though the genie stands alone I got her love back on
A 
Am 
D 
my own I'll never need the genie's help again
G 
B 
Genie, genie grant to me
Em 
G 
C 
Just one wish and that should be I
D 
hold her love instead of misery
G 
B 
Em 
G 
Genie, genie, don't you know, love must have a time to grow,
C 
D 
one wish can't make it last forever more.
