_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _
I walk around, _ _ _ _ some ancient city, [C] _ _ _ _
[D] scribble in my notebook, _ _ _ and drink my tea.
_ _ _ [Em] I don't have to make [E] love, _ _ [Em] _ cause love made me.
[C] _ _ _ [D] _ And I'll be happy, happy, happy, [G] happy, happy, happy by [A]
myself.
[C] _ [D] Hey, _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [D] _ I'll make my supper _ about _ ten o'clock, _ _ _ _ and watch the moon _ _ rise up above my block,
_ _ [E] _
and go to bed _ _ in just my [C] socks.
[A] I will be happy, happy, [D] happy, happy, happy, happy by [C] _
myself.
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ Hey, happy, _ _ _ happy, happy, yes [D] I will. _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [D] I will go fishing, _ _ _ get with the flow,
_ [C] _ _ [A] _
I know [D] a _ _ river out in [C] Idaho,
_ _ _ _ [D] where I'll catch a [E] big trout, _ _ [Em] _ and let him go.
_ _ _ [G] Cause I'll [D] be happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy by [G] _
myself.
[C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ Hey, [G] happy, _ _ _ happy, yes I will. _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] Love, love, love, love, love, love [G] never made a fool of [C] me.
I [D] always was one, _ as you can see.
[C] _ _ _ [D] I [E] can't be _ [Em] good, _ so I'll [C] be _ free.
_ And I'll [D] be happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy by [C] myself. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] Hey, _ _ _ _ [D]
I'll fold the laundry, _ _ _ [A] just like I [C] please,
_ _ and [D] put the sheets on the bed, just [A] like I please.
[C] _ _ [Em] Way down in my [E]
dreams, _ [Em] _ find _ _ [C]
sweet [D] release.
I will be happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy [C] by myself.
_ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] Hey, happy, _ _ happy, happy, yes I [D] will. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I'll walk around some ancient city, _ scribble in my notebook all my pithy little poems,
pithy little poems, happy, happy, happy by myself. _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [D] I'll catch a big trout, let him go, while there's some fancy fishermen [C] down the shore,
not catching nothing, [G] happy, happy, happy by myself.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Gm] I'll make myself a rub by ten o'clock, put a lot of hot sauce on the rice,

I'll send you a postcard from Paris, having a wonderful time, [G] glad you're not here,
happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy by [C] myself. _
_ _ _ I'll sit [D] around in some little cafe, listen to [C] couples argue, _ [Bb]
and [G] I will go,
[Gm] _ _ _ happy, happy, [C] happy by myself.

_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
