Chords

[Intro] G [Verse 1:]
 C                   G
Happy happy oh my friend

                   D
Blow out candles once again

                          Em
Leave the presents all inside

  D   C
Take my hand

          G
And let's take a ride

                      D
Backwards down the number line

                           Em
You were eight and I was nine

                           D
Do you know what happened then?

(A-0-2-3)

C
Do you know why we're still friends?

   C                      G
Laughing all these many years

                               D
We pushed through hardships tasted tears

               Em
Made a promise one to keep

(A-3-2-0)

        C               G
I can still recite it in my sleep

                G
Every time a birthday comes

                           D    Em
Call your friend and sing a song

                         C
Or whisper it into his ear

       C
Or write it down

                     G
Just don't miss a year
[Chorus]
G      F               C
You decide what it contains

                              G
How long it goes but this remains

            F            C
The only rule is it begins

                      G
Happy happy oh my friend

G      F               C
You decide what it contains

                              G
How long it goes but this remains

            F            C
The only rule is it begins

                      G
Happy happy oh my friend
[Solo 1] Em Em, D, C, C, C, C Em Em, D, C, C, C, C [Solo 2] G, F, C [Outro and Bridge:]
        G
All my friends

              G
Come backwards down the number line

  Bm                         C
And when I see you coming down the line

       C
With eyes wide open

      Bm                            C
Somewhere in between the past and future

            C
Where you drift in time

                             D         G
And you can see a different point of view
