Now doesn't make much sense, but [Bb] ought to be a lot of gifts, [Am] anyone who takes a stance.
[G] At a day in [F] your celebration, [C] we all know in our minds [Bb] that there ought to be a sign,
[Am] that we can set aside to [G] show just how [F] much we love you.
And I'm sure you would agree, [G] what fits more perfectly [F] than to have a world party on [G] the day you came to be.
[C] Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy 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 better.
He [G] said, must I burn [F] in recognition, [C] because it can never be.
Just [Bb] because some cannot see, [Am] such dream as clear as he.
[G] That day, didn't it give me [C] some kind [F] of illusion, and we all know everything,
[G] that his slipper time will bring, [F] or in Pizza Hut we'll sing, [C] thanks to Martin Luther King.
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, [Am] happy birthday.
[Dm] Why has there never been [Am] a holiday, yeah,
[Dm] where peace is [Ab] celebration.
[Bb] Girl, it's the [C] world, time is overdue, for [Bb] people like me and you, [Am] who know the way true.
[G] This love and unity, [F] for all of God's children, [C] should be a pretty thing, [Bb] and the whole day should be spent,
[Am] in full remembrance, [G] of those who lived and died for [C] the wondrous love [F] of people.
So let us all begin, [G] with another lovely word, [F] let it out, don't hold it in, [G] say it loud [Ab] as you can.
[Db] Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, [Gb] happy [Db] birthday, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, happy birthday to you.
