[INTRO]
[E] My mama always said [E7]life was like a box of ch[A]ocolates,
you ne[F#7]ver kn[B]ow what you gonna g[E]et
[VERSE 1]
My name is F[E]orrest, Forrest Gump, peop[E/G#]le call me Forrest Gump
Hey! W[A]ould you like a chocol[B]ate?
My m[E]ama was right, this box is j[D]ust like life
I w[C7]onder what you g[B7]onna g[E]et
[VERSE 2]
[E]Maybe you’ll be a college[E/G#] football star
Or a V[A]ietnam veter[B]an
Or a p[E]ing-pong champion, a shr[D]imp boat captain
A cr[C7]oss-country r[B7]unning m[E]an
[CHORUS 1]
You could get m[E]ilk chocolate, d[E/G#]ark chocolate,
[A] chocolate b[B]ar, chocolate
Wh[E]ite chocolate, b[E/G#]lack chocolate, [A] skinny and f[B]at chocolate
R[E]ich chocolate, p[D]oor chocolate,[C#m] gimme some m[C]ore chocolate
[B] You never know what you g[A]onna g[E]et
[VERSE 3]
I b[E]een across the country seen all [E/G#]walks of life
didn’t a[A]lways know which chocolate was wr[B]ong or right
It’s h[E]ard tell what’s in that ch[D]ocolate shell
The only [C7]way to find [B7]out is to take a [E]bite
(over the spoken phrase)
[E] [E/G#] [A] [B]
"I’m not a smart man, but I know what truffle is”
[BRIDGE]
Cause [A7]I wasn’t born with the b[E]iggest brain
But my [A7]mama loved me just the s[E]ame "yes, she did”
So [A]I did my best, sure as my [G#7]name’s For[C#m]rest
[F#m]Forrest Gump, th[B]at is my name
My [A]mama s[G#m]aid,[F#m] [G#m] my m[A]am[G#m]a sa[F#m]id, [G#m]
she said st[A]upid is as s[Am]tupid does
And th[E]at’s just fine and [C#7]dandy, so[F#m] pass that chocolate cand[B]y
[CHORUS 2]
You could get m[E]ilk chocolate, d[E/G#]ark chocolate,
[A] chocolate b[B]ar, chocolate
B[E]oy chocolate, [E/G#]girl chocolate, [A] vanilla sw[B]irl chocolate
G[E]erman chocolate, [E/G#]french chocolate,[A] I’m on a b[B]ench chocolate
Th[E]is chocolate, t[E/G#]hat chocolate, [A] doggy and c[B]at chocolate
D[E]ollar chocolate, [E/G#]penny chocolate, [A] Forrest and J[B]enny chocolate
[E] Woman chocolate[E/G#] , man chocolate, [A] lieutenant D[B]an chocolate
P[F#m]eace chocolate, w[B]ar chocolate, sh[E]ut the front d[C#m]oor chocolate
