Happy Birthday To You by Stevie Wonder - Simplified Version

Intro

C Bb Am G F

Verse 1

You know it [C]doesn't make much sense

There ought to [Bb]be a law against

Any- [Am]one who takes offense

At a [G]day in your [F]celebration

Verse 2

Cause we [C]all know in our minds

That there [Bb]ought to be a time

That [Am]we can set aside

To [G]show just how [F]much we love you

Bridge

And I'm [F]sure you would agree

It couldn't [G]fit more perfectly

Than to [F]have a world party on the [G]day you came to be

Chorus

Happy [C]Birthday to you

Happy [F]Birth- [C]day

Happy [C]Birthday to you

Happy [F]Birth- [C]day

Verse 3

I just [C]never understood

How a [Bb]man who died for good

Could not [Am]have a day that would

Be [G]set aside for his [F]recognition

Verse 4

Because [C]it should never be

Just be [Bb]cause some cannot see

The [Am]dream as clear as he

that [G]they should make it be- [F]come an illusion

Bridge

And we [F]all know everything

That he [G]stood for time will bring

For in [F]peace our hearts will sing

Thanks to [G]Martin Luther King

Chorus

Happy [C]Birthday to you

Happy [F]Birth- [C]day

Happy [C]Birthday to you

Happy [F]Birth- [C]day

(Fade to end)
