The Happy Song chords by Voltaire

Chords with lyrics

TUNE YOUR GUITAR FULL STEP DOWN
I play it with six (DDUUDU)


E minorEm
Spoken: A augmentedA Buddhist on the subway tells me that
What you want is rarely, if ever, what you need.
And of course, I argue the point like a completely self-righteous idiot.

   E minorEm
Sung: I was looking for perfection
      A minorAm           E minorEm
And it found me, right between the eyes
E minorEm
All this time we spent in bliss,
         A minorAm           E minorEm
You know, like all things, it has to fade away
C majorC
The devil says beware
       B7B7             E minorEm
Cus when you ask, you might get what you want
C majorC
The devil, he may care
    B7B7             E minorEm
When you ask, you might get what you want

E minorEm
Spoken: So now I spend most of my time waiting for things to happen,
Letting the wind take me where it will.


   E minorEm
Sung: Only when it's done do you lose the veil
      A minorAm           E minorEm
You get so blind you never see the light coming down the tracks

It keeps me hanging from a thread
         A minorAm
Devil drives the train,
       E minorEm
Devil pass me by


C majorC                 E minorEm
This is the happy song I wrote for you
C majorC                    B7B7
This is the happy song I never wrote for you

G+G
And after all this time,
C majorC
And after all the lies
G+G                 B7B7                   G+G
Never dreamed you would seem to me little more than an earthly waste of time
            C majorC          G+G
After all these precious opportunities that I had to set things right
         B7B7
Dissolve like regrets in heaven, they do

And she said


E minorEm      A minorAm     E minorEm
Anata no namae o yuki ni kaku
       A minorAm   E minorEm
Keredomo nani mo iwanai.
[Japanese translation: You write your name in the snow
Yet say nothing.]


C majorC           E minorEm
This is the happy song I wrote for you
C majorC           B7B7
This is the happy song I never wrote for you



G+G
And after all this time,
C majorC
And after all the lies
G+G                 B7B7                   G+G
Never dreamed you would seem to me little more than an earthly waste of time
            C majorC          G+G
After all these precious opportunities that I had to set things right
       B7B7
Dissolve like regret in heaven,
        (tab for this is below)
Zen Buddhist heaven.


Tab for the end (is played on B7, but you van actually end the song with just Em, if the tab
is difficult for ya:))

I'm actually bad at this, so here you go:

You can just do these strings, holding B7: 1,2,3, 2,3,4, 2,3,4, 3,4,5
