Jeff Found A Genie Tabulatur von Philip Labes (für Baryton)

[Verse]
G            D          Em
Jeff found a genie in a bottle
           C                           D
who said, "I can give you anything you ask.
        G                 D
You can have your wishes, three,
      Em
and a million more for free,
       C            D             G
it's unlimited just set me to the task."
 
[Verse]
      G             D                    Em
Well, Jeff thought awhile, said, "I want houses.
       C                          D
I want boats, I want fancy modern art.
       G              D
I want tickets to the MET,
       Em
I want my own private jet,
      C           D                G
and a rocket into space just for a start!"
 
[Verse]
          G               D                Em
Well, the genie waved her arms and made it happen.
    C                          D
His every wish bolted from the blue.
    G              D
And folks all over town
     Em
grew enamored, gathered 'round,
     C                D               G
to admire the man who wishes had come true.
 
[Chorus]
                  C               D           G
They said, "Let's hear it for the man who has everything.
        C              D           Em
By good fortune he was set so far apart.
           C           D              G
Yeah let's hear it for Jeff who's got everything.
           C          D           G
‘Cause his wishes are only at the start."
 
[Verse]
      G                D                  Em
Well, Jeff heard their shouts and he grew worried.
          C                         D
He said, "Everybody's getting in my way."
          G           D
The genie smiled as before,
              Em
"You've got a million wishes more,
        C           D             G
you can even give a bunch of them away."
 
[Verse]
      G           D               Em
Well, Jeff got confused and sorta quiet.
        C                                   D
'Til he finally said, "I have just one wish more.
G         D
I am satisfied,
     Em
so I wish that you would die,
       C            D         G
so you cannot grant wishes anymore."
 
[Verse]
          G                D               Em
Well, the genie's eyes got big and sad and shiny.
         C                              D
‘Til she finally said, "Your wish is my command."
            G            D
And with an effervescent sigh
        Em
she disappeared before his eyes
       C                D             G
and no wishes were ever granted there again.
 
[Chorus]
         C               D           G
So let's hear it for the man who has everything.
        C              D           Em
By good fortune he was set so far apart.
           C           D              G
Yeah let's hear it for Jeff who's got everything.
      C              D              G
Every single fucking thing except a heart.
