[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
Am7             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                 
What could fit more perfectly
        F                         Gsus4             
Than to have a world party on the day you came to be


[Chorus]
C                    
Happy birthday to you
C                    
Happy birthday to you
F             
Happy birthday
C                    
Happy birthday to you
                  C  
Happy birthday to you
F              C
Happy birthday ■


[Verse]
       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
          C                 
Thanks to Martin Luther King

[Verse]
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 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
Dm7           F    
So let us all begin
G                        
We know that love can win
       Dm7                 
Let it out don't hold it in
       F              
Say it loud as you can
F                    
Happy birthday to you
