Happy Days chords by Television Music

Pratt & McClain had a Top 5 hit with this in '76 ('77?). This transcription
pertains to the actual theme from when they switched to taping the show before
a live audience (the same time "Rock Around The Clock" was dumped), until it
was replaced by an inferior version for the last season.
