Doesn't make much sense, [Bb] but ought to be a lot of gifts.
[Am]
Anyone who takes a stance [G] at a [F] day in your celebration.
[C] We all know in our mind [Bb] that there ought to be a time
that [Am]
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 [G] on the day you came to be?
[C] Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, [F] happy [C] birthday.
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday.
I could never understood how [Bb]
a man who died for good
[Am] could not have a day that was, [G] he said,
a sight [F] for his recognition.
[C] Because it could never be, [Bb] just because some cannot [Eb] [Bb] see
the [Am]
dream as clear as he.
[G] That day, didn't it, didn't it become [F] an illusion?
And we all know everything [G] that each super-time will bring
[F] or in peace our hearts will sing, [C] thanks to Martin Luther King.
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, [F] happy [C] birthday.
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, [Am] happy birthday.

[Bb] And the whole thing should be spent,

those who lived and died for [C] the oneness of [F] our people.
