[Intro]
Em A Em A Em A Em A

[Verse 1]
Em A
Now I wish I was a dog
Em A
Lazin' about all day
Em A
With a bark so loud and fierce
Em A F#m F
To keep the cats away, away

[Chorus 1]
B E A
But a man's a man
D F
And a dog's a slave
Am A D G D
So a man I would rather be

[Verse 2]
Em A
Now I wish I was a book
Em A
Upon a dusty shelf
Em A
With a millions of words to read
Em A F#m F
Lord, but I can't even read myself, myself

[Chorus 2]
B E A
But a man's a man
D F
And a book can't think
Am A D G D
So a man I would rather be

[Verse 3]
Em A
Now I wish I was a brick
Em A
In the middle of a wall
Em A
With a plastic coat and hat
Em A F#m F
I would have no cares at all, at all

[Chorus 3]
B E A
But a man's a man
D F
And a brick won't talk
