I Hope You're Happy Now chords by Elvis Costello

Chords with lyrics

I Hope You're Happy Now
from Blood and Chocolate
tabbed by [email protected]


This is a guitar-based transcription, though some notes played
by other instruments may be included so that the lone guitarist
can more fully realize the tune as it exists on Blood & Chocolate.
Those lone guitarists with dexterity trouble can skip those notes
and still "put over" the song in question, but it won't sound as cool.
Lower case letters indicate that the preceding chord should be played
with the lower case note in the bass (e.g. A augmentedA  g  f#  =  you play an
A augmentedA chord, then you play an A augmentedA chord with a G+G in the bass, then an A augmentedA chord with
an F#F# in the bass)

Tricky chords are pictured below the transcription.
