#1.
E         A      E            A
Some guys like a nine to five job and a
E            A            E     A
house with a white picket fence.
E         A             E          A
Some guys live for that weekly pay cheque,
       Gb                    B
but to me it don't make much sense.
     E       A            G      A    Ab
Now, I don't like a tight collar or a suit
                A
with a matching tie.
          E           B            Ab
I like to pick up and go where the four winds
A               Gb        B     E
blow and that's why I'm a happy guy.

CHORUS:
A     E        A           E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)
A     E        A           E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)
A     E        A           E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)
A     E        A           E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)


#2.
E       A        E             A
I steer clear of sweet talkin' gals, they got
E             A        E     A
wedding bells on their minds.
E           A           E          A          Gb
They want a guy to stay home every night, but me,
                B
I'm a different kind.
E      A        E     A     Ab
I move when I'm ready and I don't have to tell
    A
you why.
       E       A             Ab        A
I just grab my hat and leave where I'm at and
       Gb        B     E
that's why I'm a happy guy.

CHORUS:
A     E        A           E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)
A     E        A           E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)
A     E        A           E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)
A     E        A           E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)


#3.
E                A           E       A
You can look for me when I'm passing through and
     E           A       E    A
I'll stay awhile in your town.
       E       A              E          A
We can live it up and let the good times roll,
    Gb                     B
but don't try to settle me down.
E         A     E         A     Ab
No girl's gonna chain me, I was born with a rovin'
A
eye.
             E         A                   Ab
And when the thrill is gone, well, I'll be moving
A             Gb        B     E
on and that's why I'm a happy guy.

CHORUS:
A     E        A           E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)
(Whoa-oh-oh-yeah)
A     E        A           E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)
A     E        A           E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)
A     E        A           E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)
