Intro:

Verse:
G*                                   G*
I've been long, a long way from here
G*
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes,
G                                C
And drank 'til I was thirsty again

Pre-chorus:
G*                                           G*
We went searching through thrift store jungles
G*
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
G                               C
And Benny Goodman's corset and fan
   (Am)               Dadd9
Well, o.k. I made this up,
  C                           Dadd9
I promised you I'd never give up

Chorus:
                Am       C                    G         D
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad
                Am       C                             G*         G*
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, then why the hell are you so sad?

Verse:
You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?

Pre-chorus:
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed; scr*pe the mold off the bread,
And serve you French toast again
Well, o.k. I still get stoned, I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home

Chorus-variation:
                Am       C                    G         D
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad
                Am       C                             G
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, then why the hell are you so sad?
                Am       C                    G         D
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad
                Am       C                             Em      Am
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, then why the hell are you so sad?
Em  Am  C  G*  G*

Pre-chorus:
We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes,
And everywhere in between
Well, o.k. we get along, so what if right now everything's wrong?

Chorus:
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, then why the hell are you so sad?
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, then why the hell are you so sad?

End:
Am  C  G  D  D/C D/B
Am  C  G*
