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