Song: Wish I Was Tab

I wish I was a willow tree, swayin' on a lazy breeze
Movin' like a midnight train through rainy Georgia

/ Am - G - / F - Am - /

I wish I was a grain of sand, I'd be playin' in a baby's hand
Fallin' like a diamond chain into the ocean

   Willow trees are strong enough to bend
   Never like the oak that lives in fear of the wind
   Oh, a grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be
   Lay me down and let the water wash all over me
   Wash o-over me

   / F G Am - / F G E7 - / : / - - Am - - - /

I wish I was an old guitar, I'd be sittin' in a beat-up car
Hittin' every two-bit bar from here to Texas

   Then I wouldn't be ashamed to look up my old friends
   They would be so proud to see me strung up again
   Oh, a grain of sand...

Nobody wants you when you're down and out
Nobody wants to know your name
You're just a face lost in the crowded street
In the crowded street

/ Dm G Am - / Dm G F - / Dm G Am F - - - / E7 - - - /

I wish I was a willow tree, swayin' on a lazy breeze
Movin' like a midnight train through rainy Georgia
I wish I was a grain of sand, playin' in a baby's hand
Fallin' like a diamond chain into the ocean

   Willow trees are strong enough to bend
   Never like the oak that lives in fear of the wind
   Oh, a grain of sand...

   Wash over me

   / E7 - Am - /
