Happy Birthday  Stevie Wonder



[C]          [Bb]           [am]           [G]    [F] 
Verse:
You know it d[C]oesn't make much sense
There ought to [Bb]be a law against
Any[am]one who takes offense
At [G]a day in y[F]our celebration
Cause we [C]all know in our minds
That there [Bb]ought to be a time
That [am]we can set aside
To sh[G]ow just how m[F]uch we love you
And I'm s[F]ure you would agree
It couldn't f[G]it more perfectly
Than to h[F]ave a world party on the d[G]ay you came to be


Chorus:
Happy b[C]irthday to you
Happy b[C]irthday to you
Happy [F]birthd[C]ay
Happy b[C]irthday to you
Happy b[C]irthday to you
Happy [F]birthd[C]ay


Verse:
I just n[C]ever understood
How a m[Bb]an who died for good
Could not h[am]ave a day that would
Be s[G]et aside for his r[F]ecognition
Because [C]it should never be
Just bec[Bb]ause some cannot see
The dr[am]eam as clear as he
that th[G]ey should make it bec[F]ome an illusion
And we [F]all know everything
          [G]                           
That he stood for time will bring
For in p[F]eace our hearts will sing
Thanks to M[G]artin Luther King


Chorus:
Happy b[C]irthday to you
Happy b[C]irthday to you
Happy [F]birthd[C]ay
Happy b[C]irthday to you
Happy b[C]irthday to you
Happy [F]birthd[C]ay


Bridge:
[dm]Why has there never been a h[am]oliday
[dm]Where peace is celebrated
[G#]all through[Bb]out the w[C]orld


Verse:
The t[C]ime is overdue
For peop[Bb]le like me and you
Who kn[am]ow the way to truth
Is l[G]ove and unity to [F]all God's children
It should never b[C]e a great event
And the wh[Bb]ole day should be spent
In f[am]ull remembrance
Of th[G]ose who lived and died for the [F]oneness of all people
So l[F]et us all begin
We kn[G]ow that love can win
Let it [F]out don't hold it in
Sing it l[G]oud as you c[G#]an


Chorus:
Happy b[C#]irthday to you
Happy b[C#]irthday to you
Happy [F#]birth[C#]day
Happy b[C#]irthday to you
Happy b[C#]irthday to you
Happy [F#]birth[C#]day
Happy b[C#]irthday to you
Happy b[C#]irthday to you

Happy [F#]birth[C#]day
Happy b[C#]irthday to you
Happy b[C#]irthday to you
Happy [F#]birth[C#]day

[C#]Happy     b[B]irthday
Happy     b[Bbm]irthday
Happy b[G#]irthday
Ooh yeah

C# / / / B / / / Bbm / / / G# / / / (repeat this until end)
Happy birthday...

We know the key to unity all people
It's in the dream that you had so long ago
That lives in all of the hearts of the people
That believe in unity
We'll make the dream become a reality
I know we will
Because our hearts tell us so


(I'm not quite sure with the chords of the chorus,
wheter it is just one chord.
You might add an F at the end.
You might play it totally different: C and am alternating.
Try it out. :)
