Paul Kelly – Happy Birthday Ada Mai (Guitar)

A                      Bm
Ada Mae, you're two today

E                                    A
Guess I'll be gone before you're twenty

A                    Bm
Happy birthday, Ada Mae

E                    A
I wrote a song for you

D                              A
Who can say what's coming at you?

E                             A
This old world keeps hurtling on

D                          A
I could try to tell the future

E
But I'd be wrong, most likely

A                   Bm
Ada Mae, you have a way

E                            A 
Of changing everyone around you

A                             Bm
We love you more each passing day

E                     A
Your laugh is yours alone

D                                       A
Oh, I do fear my generation has been sleeping

E                     A
Deep inside a fever dream

D                           A
We've sown the whirlwind you'll be reaping

E
And eaten all the cream

D                  A
You and I are human animals

E                    A
And kin to everything alive

D                        A
One day you'll know a million miracles

E
Helped you arrive here with us

A               Bm
Ada Mae, I hope you find

E                           A 
A tree, a bird, a star, a flower

A                                Bm
And a love to keep you strong and kind

E                             A
When haters try to seize the day

A                  Bm
Happy birthday, Ada Mae

E                           A 
Maybe I'll see you turning twenty

A                  Bm
Can you imagine such a day?

E                     A
Ada Mae, my love is true

E                      A
Ada Mae, this song's for you
