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
[Chorus] C
Happy birthday to you
C
Happy birthday to you
(F) C
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
G
Thanks to Martin Luther King
[Chorus] C
Happy birthday to you
C
Happy birthday to you
(F) C
Happy birthday
C
Happy birthday to you
C
Happy birthday to you
(F) C
Happy birthday
[Bridge]Dm Am
Why has there never been a holiday
Dm
Where peace is celebrated
G# Bb 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
F
So let us all begin
G
We know that love can win
F
Let it out don't hold it in
G G#
Sing it loud as you can
[Chorus] C#
