Stevie Wonder-Happy Birthday - BPM - 116
[Intro - each chord 2 bars][C] [Bb] [Am] ([G] [F])
[C] [Bb] [Am] [G] [F]
[Verse]
You know it
[C]doesn't make much sense There ought to
[Bb]be a law against Any
[Am]one who takes offense At a
[G] day in
[F]your celebration Cause we
[C]all know in our minds That there
[Bb]ought to be a time That
[Am]we can set aside To
[G]show just how
[F]much we love you And I'm
[F]sure you would agree It couldn't
[G]fit more perfectly Than to
[F]have a world party on the
[G]day you came to be
[Chorus]
Happy [C] birthday to you
Happy [C] birthday to you
Happy [(F)] birth [C] day
Happy [C] birthday to you
Happy [C] birthday to you
Happy [(F)] birth [C] day
[Verse]
I just
[C]never understood How a
[Bb]man who died for good
Could not [Am]have a day that would
Be [G] set aside for his
[F]recognition
Because [C]it should never be
Just be [Bb] cause some cannot see
The [Am] dream as clear as he
that [G] they should make it be [F] come an illusion
And we [F] all know everything
That he [G] stood for time will bring
For in [F] peace our hearts will sing
Thanks to [G] Martin Luther King
[Chorus]
Happy [C] birthday to you
Happy [C] birthday to you
Happy [(F)] birth [C] day
Happy [C] birthday to you
Happy [C] birthday to you
Happy [(F)] birth [C] day
[Bridge]
[Dm] Why has there never been a [Am] holiday
[Dm] Where peace is celebrated
[G#] all through [Bb] out the [C] world
[Verse]
The [C] time is overdue
For people [Bb] like me and you
Who [Am] know the way to truth
Is [G] love and unity to [F] all God's children
It should [C] be a great event
And the [Bb] whole day should be spent
In [Am] full remembrance
Of [G] those who lived and died for the
[F] oneness of all people
So [F] let us all begin
We [G] know that love can win
Let it [F] out don't hold it in
Sing it [G] loud as you [G#] can
[Chorus]
Happy [C#] birthday to you
Happy [C#] birthday to you
Happy [(F#)] birth [C#] day
Happy [C#] birthday to you
Happy [C#] birthday to you
Happy [(F#)] birth [C#] day
Happy [C#] birthday to you
Happy [C#] birthday to you
Happy [(F#)] birth [C#] day
Happy [C#] birthday to you
Happy [C#] birthday to you
Happy [(F#)] birth [C#] day
