[G] [C]
[Bb]
[Am]
[G] [F]
[C] You know, doesn't make much sense, [Bb] ought to be loud again.
[Am] Anyone who takes offense [G] at a [F] day's celebration.
[C] We all know in our minds [Bb] that there ought to be a time that
[Am] we can set aside.
[G] So, just [F] how much we love you, and I'm sure you would agree,
[G] what could come more perfectly [F] than to have a world party [G] on the day you came to be?
[C] Happy birthday to ya, happy birthday to ya, happy birthday,
happy birthday to ya, happy birthday to ya, happy birthday.
I just never understood [Bb] how a man who died for good [Am] could not have a day that was better.
[G] He said, aside for [F] his recognition, [C] he thought he could never be.
[Bb] Just because some cannot see him, [Am] the dream is clear as he.
[G] Nothing should make it [F] become an illusion, and we all know everything [G] that each little time will bring.
[F] For in peace our hearts will sing, [C] raise the mighty lute to keep.
Happy birthday to ya, happy birthday to ya, happy birthday,
happy birthday to ya, happy birthday to ya, [Am] happy birthday.
[Dm] Why has there never been [Am] a holiday, yeah,
[Dm] where peace is [Ab] celebrated?
Yeah, [Bb] yeah.
[C]
Time is over too, but [Bb] people like me and [Eb] you, [Bb]
[Am] who know the way to truth,
[G] is love and unity.
[F] All God's children [C] should be embraced, [Bb] and the holidays should be spent,
[Am] and for remembrance of [G] those who lived and died for [C] the oneness of [F] all people.
So let us all begin [G] with another lovely word, [F] let it out, don't hold it in,
[G] say it loud [Ab] as you can.
