[C] You know, if we make mistakes, [Bb] there ought to be a lot of gifts.
[Am] Anyone who takes a dance [G] at a [F] daily celebration,
[C] we all know in our minds [Bb] that there ought
to be a dance that [Am] we can set aside.
[G] So, just [F] how much we love you, and I say what a great, [G] what just a more perfect thing [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

I just never understood [Bb] how a man who died for good [Am] could not have a day that was better.
[G] He said, aside [Dm] for his recognition, [C] he thought he could never be.
[Bb] Just because some cannot see, [Am] the dream is clear as he, [G] that there's good and evil,
[Am] good and evil, come [F] down an illusion.
And we all know everything [G] that each different man 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

[Bb] And the holidays should be spent, [Am] and for remembrance,
[G] of those who lived and died for [C] the wondrous of our [F] people.
