Now, never make mistakes, but [Bb] I ought to be loved again.
[Am] Anyone who takes a chance [G] at a day in [F] your celebration,
[C] you're on the way to mine.
[Bb] There ought to be a sign [Am] that we can set aside
to [G] show just [F] how much we love you.
And I'm sure you would agree, [G] what could be more perfectly
[F] than to have a world party on [G] the day you came to me.
[C] Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you,
happy [F] [C] birthday, happy birthday to you,
happy birthday to you, happy birthday.
I just never understood [Bb] how a man who died for good
[Am] could not have a day that was, he [G] said,
a sign for his [F] recognition.
[C] He thought this would never be, just [Bb] because some cannot [Eb] see,
[Bb]
[Am] but dream as clear as he, [G] that they should make it become
an [F] illusion, and we all know everything,
[G] that each slip of time will bring,
[F] and when people have to sing, [C] they might lose the key.
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you,
happy birthday, happy birthday to you,
happy birthday to you, happy birthday.
[Am]
[Dm] Why has there never been [Am] a holiday, yeah,

is over too, but [Bb] people like me and you,

[F] We all have got children, [C] to bear great events,
[Bb] and the whole day should be spent,
[Am] and for remembrance, [G] of those who lived and died
for [C] the oneness of [F] all people, so let us all begin,
[G] we know it's lovely when, [F] the light goes holding in,
