I'm diggin' Alaska & BDTNL thus far, glad to see someone posted tab for BDTNL already....anyone got Alaska figured out yet? If not I'll take a swing at it & see what I can come up with. Anyone know what key it's in off the top of their heads? Ehh fuck it, I'll just go get my guitar and do it the hard way. :-\
I did clean up BDTNL a little:

(Verse is in Gmaj, Chorus is in Cmaj)
C G
Happy happy oh my friend
D
Blow out candles once again
Em
Leave the presents all inside
SN: (E) (D) C
Take my hand and let's take a ride
D Dsus D
Backwards down the number line
Em
You were eight and I was nine
D SN: A B C
Do you know what happened there?
C
Do you know why we're still friends
G
Laughing all these many years
D
We pushed through hardships tasted tears
Em (E) (D) (C)
Made a promise one to keep
C G
I can still recite it in my sleep
D Dsus D
Every time a birthday comes
Em
Call your friend and sing a song
C
Or whisper it into his ears
G
Or write it down, just don't miss a year
Chorus: (x2)
F C
You decide what it contains
G
How long it goes but this remains
F C
The only rule is it begins
G
Happy happy oh my friend
F C
You decide what it contains
G
How long it goes but this remains
F C G
The only rule is it begins
F C G
And all my friends come backwards down the number line x3
F C
All my friends
I really like the lyrics to this song. Deep stuff.
