...HAPPY BIRTHDAY... by Stevie Wonder

--------------------.................

from 'Hotter Than July' (1980)

Intro:

C F/C, C
Bb Eb, Bb
Am Em Am,
[G] [F/G]
(x2)

Verse 1:

C F/C, C
You know it doesn't make much sense,
Bb Eb, Bb
There ought to be a law against;
Any-[Am]one who takes offense,[Em][Am]
At [G]a, day in [F/G]your celebration.

C F/C, C
'Cos we all know in our minds,
Bb Eb, Bb
That there ought to be a time,
Am Em, Am
That we can set aside;
To [G]show just how [F/G]much we love you.

Bridge 1:

And I'm [F]sure you would agree,
What could [G]fit more perfectly,
Than to [F]have a world party,
On the [F/G]day you came to be.

Chorus 1:

C F/C, C
Happy birthday to you,
F/C, C
Happy birthday to you,
Happy [F]birth-[C]day.

C F/C, C
Happy birthday to you,
F/C, C
Happy birthday to you,
Happy [F]birth-[C]day.

Verse 2:

C F/C, C
I just never understood,
Bb Eb, Bb
How a man who died for good,
Am Em, Am
Could not have a day that would,
Be [G]set aside for his [F/G]recognition.

C F/C, C
Because it should never be,
Bb Eb, Bb
Just be-cause some cannot see,
Am Em, Am
The dream as clear as he.
That [G]they should make it,
Be-[F/G]come an illusion.

Bridge 2:

And we [F]all know everything,
That he [G]stood for, time will bring.
For in [F]peace our hearts will sing;
Thanks to [F/G]Martin Luther King.

Chorus 2:

C F/C, C
Happy birthday to you,
F/C, C
Happy birthday to you,
Happy [F]birth-[C]day.

C F/C, C
Happy birthday to you,
F/C, C
Happy birthday to you,
Happy [F]birth-[C]day.

Middle 8:

[Dm7] Why has there never been a [Am7]holiday,
[Dm7] Where peace is celebrated,
[G#] All through-[A#]out the wo-[C]rld?

Verse 3:

C F/C, C
The time is overdue,
Bb Eb, Bb
For pe-ople like me and you,
Am Em, Am
Who know the way to truth;
Is [G]love and unity to [F/G]all God's children.

C F/C, C
It should be a great event,
Bb Eb, Bb
And the whole day should be spent,
Am Em, Am
In full remembrance,
Of [G]those who lived and died,
For the [F/G]oneness of all people.

Bridge 3:

So [F]let us all begin,
We [G]know that love can win.
Let it [F]out; don't hold it in,
Sing it [F/G]loud as you [F#/G#]can...
