Chris Trapper Birthday Song chords
Start Jamming...
Hey everybody, I'm Chris Trapper and I'm at my friend Ian's house here in Hudson Valley, New York.
He would just polish up a couple bottles of wine.
And I'd like [G] to sing my birthday song to anybody who has a birthday this year.
One day you'll need [Cm] someone to dress you
[D] You'll be spilling food down [G] on your [F#] face
[Em] The next day a priest [Am] will God bless you
[C] And it won't mean that you [D] sneezed
[C] And the time in [G] between [C] is lost [G] like a dream
[E] Your melancholy mood comes [Am] too late
[C]
So pick [D] that old ass of [G] yours up off [C] the floor
For [Am] tonight we [D] [G] celebrate
[C] [G] And the years go by
And we don't know where they went
[C] We just let them fly
Cause they all were heaven sent
We're on bar [Em] roof
And we still don't have the [D] rent
[G] Soaking up the sunshine
Till [C] [G]
we're dead and gone
We will laugh until we drop
[C] Here's your birthday song
May your party never stop
Singing on [Em] and on
We go stumbling down the [D] block
[G] Soaking up the good wine
[G]
We're covered in [Cm] silver confetti
[D] There's bottles all over [G] the [Bm] floor
[Em] Just cause your bank [Am] account's [C] empty
It don't mean that [D] you're poor
Cause [C] it's nights just [G] like this
[C] Make me feel [G] like I'm rich
[E] Like the fire still burns in [Am] my core
[C] So raise [D] that old glass of [G] yours up [C] towards the sky
We're not counting [D] [G] anymore It [D] works.
You're like cool, I love you.
Happy birthday again.
Bye.
[G] [C] [G] And the years go by
And we don't know where they went
We just [C] let them fly
Cause they all were heaven sent
We're on bar roof
[Em] And we still don't have the rent
[D] Soaking [G] up the sunshine
[C] [G] [C] [G]
We will laugh until we drop
Here's [C] your birthday song
May your party never stop
Singing on and [Em] on
We go stumbling down the block
[D] Soaking [G] up the good wine
[C] [G] And [C] [G]
the years go by
And we don't know where they went
We [C] just let them fly
Cause they all were heaven sent
We're on bar roof
[Em] And we still don't have the [D] rent
Soaking up [G] the sunshine
[G] Till we're dead and gone
We will laugh until we drop
[C] Here's your birthday song
May your party never stop
Singing on and [Em] on
We go stumbling down the [D] block
[G] Soaking up the good wine
[G] We [C]
[G] [Am] go on and on
[D] [G]
[F#] Soaking up the [G] good wine
[Em]
