Phish – Backwards Down The Number Line (Ukulele)

     C                 G                       D      
   Happy Happy oh my friend, blow out candles once again

                      Em           Em  D   C
   Leave the presents all inside, take my hand

             G                               D*
   And lets take a ride backwards down the number line

                             Em
   You were eight and I was nine,

                              D*     (A string 0-2-3) C
   Do you know what happened then?

    C
   Do you know why were still friends?

                             G
   Laughing all these many years

                                  D
   We pushed through hardships, tasted tears

                   Em            Em D C
   Made a promise, one to keep.

                         G
   I can still recite it in my sleep

                  D*
   everytime a birthday comes

                                Em                 C
   call your friend and sing a song or whisper it into his ears or 

                                    G
   write it down, just don't miss a year

    G    F              C                                   G
   You decide what it contains, how long it goes but this remains,

             F           C                         G
   the only rule is it begins, happy happy oh my friend (repeat x4)

   Bm                         C
   And when I see you coming down the line with eyes wide open

     Bm                            C
   somewhere between the past and future where you drift in time

                                 D       G
   and you can see a different point of view
