_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C]
It doesn't make much sense, _ _ _ [Bb] but it ought to be a lot of gifts. _ _ _
[Am] Anyone who takes a stance _ _ [G] at a day [F] in your celebration.
[C] We all know in our mind _ _ _ [Bb] that there ought to be a time _ _ _ [Am] that we can set aside to _ [G] show _ just [F] how much we love you.
And I'm sure you would agree, [G] or could more perfectly, [F] than to have a world party on [G] the day you came to be.
[C] Happy birthday to ya, _ happy birthday to ya, happy [F] [C] bir- _
Happy birthday to ya, happy birthday to ya, happy birthday.
I just never understood _ _ _ [Bb] how a man who died for good _ _ [Am] could not have a David Wood. _ _ _
[G] He set aside for [F] his recognition, [C] because it could never be.
_ Just [Bb] because some cannot [Eb] see, [Bb] _ _
[Am] such dream as clear as he. _ _ _
[G] That day, didn't it become [F] an illusion?
And we all know everything [G] that each different time will bring.
[F] Or in peace our hearts will sing, [C] thanks to Martin Luther King.
Happy birthday to ya, happy birthday to ya, happy bir- _
Happy birthday to ya, happy birthday to ya, [Am] happy birthday. _
[Dm] _ Why has there never been [Am] a holiday this gay? _ _ _
[Dm] _ Where peace is _ celebrated.
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Time is over too, _ _ for [Bb] people like me and you, _ _ [Am] who know the way true. _ _ _
[G] There's love and unity for all [C] of God's children.
But you've been pretty thin, _ _ _ _ [Bb] and the whole day should be spent. _
[Am] And for remembrance _ _ of [G] those who lived and died for [C] the wonders of [F] our people.
So let us all begin, [G] with another lovely wind.
[F] Let it out, don't hold it in.
[G] Say it loud as [Ab] you can.
