Backwards Down The Number Line chords by Phish

Chords with lyrics

D MajorD
  Happy Happy oh my friend, blow out candles once again
           C majorC
  Leave the presents all inside, take my hand
       D*
  And lets take a ride backwards down the number line
               E minorEm
  You were eight and I was nine,
               C majorC
  Do you know what happened then?
  C majorC
  Do you know why were still friends?
               G+G
  Laughing all these many years
                 D MajorD
  We pushed through hardships, tasted tears
          C majorC
  Made a promise, one to keep.
             G+G
  I can still recite it in my sleep
         D*
  everytime a birthday comes
                C majorC
  call your friend and sing a song or whisper it into his ears or
                  G+G
  write it down, just don't miss a year

CHORUS :
  G+G
  You decide what it contains, how long it goes but this remains,
       G+G
  the only rule is it begins, happy happy oh my friend (repeat x4)

SOLO : E minorEm C majorC x2 (during first solo)

BRIDGE :
  C majorC
  And when I see you coming down the line with eyes wide open
   C majorC
  somewhere between the past and future where you drift in time
                 G+G
  and you can see a different point of view

SOLO : G+G FF C majorC (during second solo)

CHORUS
