[C] Then she sits all [F] alone
Her tear begins [C] to shed
A written letter [F] in her hand
[G] This is how [C] it [G] read
I [F]
[Em] [G] [C]
turned [G] sixteen just [C] yesterday
All my world was [F] bright and gay
Thought for sure you'd [G] write a card
But you didn't after all
But the happy [C] birthday blew
[F] Happy birthday [C] blew
[G] [F] [Em] [G]
[C] [G] Maybe you had [C] lots to do
Or you found some bad [F] [Bb]
[F] news
How I pray you hear [G] my plea
I'm as lonely as can be
But the happy birthday [C] blew
Happy [F] birthday [C] blew
And
[F] just how this day would be
[C] For such an odd long time
[F] You'd wish me happy birthday
[C] While I held [Am] [G] your hand in mine
[F] I'd blow out all the candles
While [C] I wished that you and I
Would be [Am] together evermore
[D] Till the [G] day we die
As I sit [C] here in the gloom
Of my cold and [F] lonely room
All my heart is [G] filled with tears
And my eyes are filled with tears
[C] Got the happy birthday blues
Happy [Fm]
birthday [D] blues
