[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ Now doesn't make much sense, _ _ there [Bb] ought to be a lot of gifts, _ _ _ [Am] anyone who takes a _ stance _ _
[G] at a day in [F] your celebration.
[C] Cause we all know in our minds _ _ _ [Bb] that there ought to be a time that _ [Am] we can set aside _ and
[G] show _ just how [F] much we love you.
And I'm sure you would agree, or [G] could more perfectly, _ [F] than to have a world party on the
[G] day you came to be.
[C] Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy [F] _ [C] birthday, happy birthday to you, happy
birthday to you, happy birthday.
I just never understood _ _ _ _ [Bb] how a man who died for good _ _ could [Am] not have a day that would.
_ _ He [G] said, must fight for his [F] _ recognition.
[C]
He thought he could never be, _ just [Bb] because some cannot see. _ _
[Am] But we must live as he, _ _ _ [G] that day should make it [C] become an [F] illusion.
And we all know everything [G] that each different time will bring, [F] for in peace our hearts will
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, happy [Am] _ birthday. _
[Dm] _ Why has there never been [Am] a holiday _ game _ [Dm] where _ peace is _ celebrated?
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ The [C] world's _ _ _ _ _ _ on its knees for _ [Bb] people like me and you who _
[Am] know the way true. _ _ _ _
[G] It's love and unity [A] through all [C] God's children.
You pay a price, you think, _ _ _ _ [Bb] and the whole day should be spent. _
[Am] And for it never _ _ ends. _
[G] Of those who live tonight, for [A] the wondrous love [F] of people.
So let us all begin.
[G] We know that love can win.
[F] Let it out, don't hold it in.
[G] Say it loud as [Abm] you can.
[Db] Happy Birthday to you.

_ We know the key _ to unity of [B] all people
_ _ _ is in the dream that you [Bbm] had so long ago
_ that lives in all of the heart of [Ab] the people.
_ _ _ _ _ Believe [Db] me, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ we'll make the dream become a reality.
[Bbm] _ _ _ I know we will, _ _
[Ab] _ because our hearts tell [Ebm] us. _ _ _
