The Happy Song chords by Voltaire

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


Em
Spoken: A 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.

     Em
Sung: I was looking for perfection
            Am                     Em
And it found me, right between the eyes
Em
All this time we spent in bliss,
                  Am                      Em
You know, like all things, it has to fade away
C

The devil says beware
             B7                          Em
Cus when you ask, you might get what you want
C
The devil, he may care
        B7                          Em
When you ask, you might get what you want



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



      Em
Sung: Only when it's done do you lose the veil
            Am                      Em
You get so blind you never see the light coming down the tracks

It keeps me hanging from a thread
                  Am
Devil drives the train,
              Em
Devil pass me by



C                                  Em
This is the happy song I wrote for you
C                                        B7
This is the happy song I never wrote for you


G
And after all this time,
C
And after all the lies
G                                 B7                                     G
Never dreamed you would seem to me little more than an earthly waste of time
                        C                    G
After all these precious opportunities that I had to set things right
                 B7
Dissolve like regrets in heaven, they do

And she said


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



C                     Em
This is the happy song I wrote for you
C                     B7
This is the happy song I never wrote for you




G
And after all this time,
C
And after all the lies
G                                 B7                                     G
Never dreamed you would seem to me little more than an earthly waste of time
                        C                    G
After all these precious opportunities that I had to set things right
             B7
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
