(Verse is in Gmaj, Chorus is in Cmaj)

C                 G
Happy happy oh my friend
                 D
Blow out candles once again
                   Am
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
                         Am
You were eight and I was nine
                          D       
Do you know what happened there?
Am                          C
Do you know why we're still friends
                        G
Laughing all these many years
                            D
We pushed through hardships tasted tears
               Am          (E)  (D)  ©
Made a promise one to keep   
C                       G
     I can still recite it in my sleep
             D                Dsus   D 
Every time a birthday comes
                            Am
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

bass solo transcribed for guitar (thru the piano...don't have a bass)and repositioned it an octave above mike's bass due the guitar not having the range on the deeper octave notes like a bass.  hope that makes sense.
