Verse 1:
C G
Just a few short years ago
Am G
I played a lot with Bill and Joe
F G C G
They seemed to think that I was quite a guy
C G
I could climb the highest tree
Am G
And they would always follow me
F G
We had friendship I thought would never die
Verse 2:
C Bm
Then I changed from tomboy girl
Am G
And grew into a woman's world
F G C G
And moved away, leaving my old friends ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
C Bm
Now I'm miles and years away
Am G
But I still dream of childhood days
F G C
And I wish I was a little boy again
F
Cause girls grow into women
G C
And boys grow into men
F
And the world of make believe
G C
All too soon must end
F G
And I blame that awful change
C Am
For the shape my life is in
F G C
How I wish I was a little boy again

I wish I'd chosen one of them
Am G
Instead of being here with him

If I could leave right now, I think I'd go

I'd trade this mansion I hate so

For a small treehouse with Bill or Joe

I wish I was a little boy again
