-2   3* -3   -3* 4 -3* 3 -1*
Gee, I wish that I had a girl
 -1   1*  1  -2  2   3   -2
Like the oth-er fel-lows had
 4    4  -4  4   4* -5  4 -3* 3
Some-one to make a fuss o-ver me
-2  -1*  3 -3*  -4  4  -4  -3* 
To cheer me up when I feel sad
-3*  -3*  -3*  -3*  -4   4 -3* 3*
On Wednes-day night I’m all a-lone
 3   3   3   3  -2 2
When I ought to be up
-2  -2    3     -2     1
At some sweet-heart’s home
-1* -3   4    -5*  -5  4   3   -3*
And I’m lone-some, aw-ful lone-some
 4   3  -2  3 -2  3 -1*
Gee, I wish I had a girl

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
