NOTES - Took a while to get this all down. A few odd chords but here we are. It all
sounds very accurate.
- Chord finger positions below. Two slightly different ways to play Dmaj7 and D7.
Take your pick. To keep it simple, play it the first way :)
- Enjoy! Corrections, comments and ratings warmly welcome!

I wish I had the brain of a Tyrannosaurus Rex,
E A
So that I wouldn't have to deal with all this crap.

While at the beach relaxing in the summer time,

I wish that I was good at football, baseball and lacrosse,

Darts and basketball, and poker, golf and chess.

I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me,

On a silver platter, like they did to you.

The man you think I should aspire to.

Who float right through their lives without a thought.
