No Easy Version
Intro:
C Bb Am G C C4 C Bb Bb4 Bb Am A4 Am G F

            C                       C4 C
You know it doesn't make much sense     
               Bb               Bb4 Bb
There ought to be a law against       
   Am                    A4 Am
Anyone who takes offense      
     G        F               
At a   day in your celebration
         C                     C4 C
Cause we all know in our minds     
           Bb                Bb4 Bb
That there ought to be a time      
     Am               A4 Am
That we can set aside      
   G               F               
To show   just how much we love you

        F                   
And I'm sure you would agree
              G                 
What couldn't fit more perfectly
        F                 
Than to have a world party
       G                 
On the day you came to be

      C               C4 C
Happy birthday to you     
      C               C4 C
Happy birthday to you     
      F    C  
Happy birthday
      C               C4 C
Happy birthday to you     
      C               C4 C
Happy birthday to you     
      F    C  
Happy birthday

       C                C6 C
I just never understood     
      Bb                    Bb4 Bb
How a man who died for good       
          Am                    A4 Am
Could not have a day that would      
   G                    F          
Be set    aside for his recognition
        C                  C6 C
Because it should never be     
        Bb                    Bb4 Bb
Just because some cannot see        
     Am                   A4 Am
The dream as clear as he       
     G                       F               
That they   should make it become an illusion

       F                  
And we all know everything
         G                       
That he stood for time will bring
       F                         
For in peace our hearts will sing
          G                 
Thanks to Martin Luther King

      C               C4 C

Dm                         Am             Dm
Why has there never been a holiday yeahhh   
Dm                       
Where peace is celebrated
Ab       Bb         C    
All  throughout the world

    C               C4 C
The time is overdue     
       Bb                 Bb4 Bb
For people like me and you      
    Am                   A4 Am
Who know the way to truth     
   G                  F                 
Is love  and unity to all God's children
          C                C4 C
It should be a great event     
        Bb                        Bb4 Bb
And the whole day should be spent       
   Am                A4 Am
In full remembrance       
   G                       
Of those who lived and died
        F                    
For the oneness of all people

   F               
So let us all begin
    G                    
We know that love can win
       F                   
Let it out don't hold it in

Sing it loud as you can
