Your Birthday Song Go Radio
Hey Go Radio fans! This is "Birthday Song" as I figure it. I know there are
other versions that work, but I prefer this structure. To figure it out, I
listened to the bass line in the guitar that starts each little chord
arpeggio.
C: (x32010) v(This is more convenient)
G: (320001) G*: (355433) G**:(x20001)
Am:(002210) Am*:(577555) ^(Use G* if you don't like this where I put it.)
Em:(022000) ^(Gives the leading tone in the right octave. Same for G**)
F: (133211)
He was [C]sitting on the [G]back porch singing, "[Am]You're My Only Sun[Em]shine"
F G* C
Swinging to songs only he heard in his head
Now he's [C]cutting paper swor[G]ds from boxes to [Am]hang inside his room[Em]
F G* C
And watch them spin into the wind above his bed
Singing "[C]Take me down[G] this road[Am] I'm on[Em]
F G* C
It's late and I don't wanna go alone.
[C]Take me do[G]wn this road[Am]
Em F G* C
I won't be scared, 'cause we can't be scared."
And I'm [C]searching for a si[G]gn that you're still here[Am]
Em F G* C
And I'm alright but now I'm down here on the ground I think I'll pray
'Cause [C]Tallahassee's fi[G]ne but, Dad, I [Am]miss you all the time[Em]
F G*
And I know you're gone, but not too long
Am* G**
And I hope you f**king love your birthday song
If you'll [C]take me down[G] this road[Am] I'm on[Em]
F G* C
It's late and I don't wanna go alone.
[C]Take me do[G]wn this road[Am]
Em F G* C
I won't be scared, 'cause we can't be scared."
It's [C]4:09, west [G]over by a [Am]hill
Em F G* C
There is some clover and a bridge where my father lets me play
And I was [C]taking it for gr[G]anted
You were [Am]there to hold my h[Em]and and say,
F G* C
"Don't worry, son, 'cause this will be okay."
Singing "[C]Take me down[G] this road[Am] I'm on[Em]
F G* C
It's late and I don't wanna go alone.
[C]Take me do[G]wn this road[Am]
Em F G* C
I won't be scared, 'cause we can't be scared." Ohhh
Singing "Ta[C]ke me do[G]wn this road[Am] I'm on[Em]
F G* C
It's late and I don't wanna go alone.
[C]Take me down[G] this ro[Am]ad
I [Em]won't be scared,[F] 'cause we can't be scared."
