Brian Hyland - The Genie Chords

[Intro]
G  B  Em  D  G  C  G  C  G
 
[Verse 1]
           C           G           C             G
I passed a little shop   and there I had to stop,
G          Em           Am              D7    G
Inside the window was a tarnish lamp of gold,
           C           G            C
Bought it, took it home  and when I got alone,
G                  Em             Am             D   Am  D  G
Rubbed it like the story I'd been told so long a-go.
 
[Chorus]
             B           Em                G              C
Genie, Genie grant to me just one wish and that should be,
                           D       G
I hold her love instead of misery.
             B              Em               G             C
Genie, Genie don't you know love must have a time to grow,
                                D        G
One wish can't make it last for-evermore.
 
[Verse 2]
      C          G           C             G
So it came to be she fell in love with me,
              Em              Am          D   G
But it didn't really work out too pеrfect=ly,
          C             G            C
The geniе had been kind   but in too little time,
G          Em                Am          D   Am  D  G
He’d given love that came to us too easi-ly.
 
[Chorus]
             B           Em                G              C
Genie, Genie grant to me just one wish and that should be,
                           D       G
I hold her love instead of misery.
             B              Em               G             C
Genie, Genie don't you know love must have a time to grow,
                                D
One wish can't make it last for-evermore.
 
[Verse 3]
C                   Cm           G           Em
Now the lamp stands by itself an ornament up-on my shelf,
C               D                 G
Holding up some books, I've never read them,
    C                Cm           C G                 Em
And though the Genie stands alone I got her love back on my own,
     A                      Am          D  G
I'll never need the Genie's help again.
 
[Ending]
             B           Em                G              C
Genie, Genie grant to me just one wish and that should be,
                           D       G
I hold her love instead of misery.
             B              Em               G             C
Genie, Genie don't you know love must have a time to grow,
                                D         G
One wish can't make it last for-evermore.
