[Verse]
C              
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          Am7 Am   
That we can set aside
   G             F               
To show just how much we love you
        Dm7            F    
And I'm sure you would agree
            G                 
It couldn't fit more perfectly
        F                 
Than to have a world party
       Gsus4             
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                 G7         
Be set aside for his recognition
C                        
'cause 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


[Chorus]

Happy ■ birthday
                           Am          
Why has there never been a holiday yeah
Dm                Ab        
■  Where peace is celebrated
    Bb             C7    C
All throughout the world ■


[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 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
Dm7       F        
So let us all begin
G                        
We know that love can win
       Dm7               F 
Let it out don't hold it in
        F              
Sing it loud as you can
