Happy the man, he leads a simple life, [E]
[D] and doesn't have much,
he doesn't worry him where you're [G] going, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, [D] yeah, nowhere!
Like a nun with a gun, I'm wonderful [D] fun,
[E] laughing all through, just [D] watching you,
[G] seems a very stupid game, but I don't care!
[D] Happy the man, [E] he doesn't buzz around, round, round, oh, nothing he wants,
[D] I'm more than anything where [G] you're going, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, [D] nowhere!
Like a fool in a pool, I'm incredibly cool, with a grin on my chin, I'm certain to win,
[G] someone says he's Jesus [D] Christ, but I don't care!
