Corrinne May - The Birthday Song Chords

[Verse 1]
E                      B
Don't worry about that extra line
C#m
That's creeping up upon your face
E                   B
It's just a part of nature's way
C#m
To say you've grown a little more
E                    B
Trees have rings and thicker branches
C#m
Kids shoes get a little tighter
A                B                 C#m             B
Every year we're getting closer to who we're gonna be
     A           B                  C#m                B
It's time to celebrate the story of how you've come to be

[Chorus]
      E           B
Happy birthday my friend
          F#m                 C#m
Here's to all the years we've shared together
B
All the fun we've had
              C#m
You're such a blessing
       F#m       A
Such a joy in my life
        C#m       B
May the good Lord bless you
        A        B           E
And may all your dreams come true

[Verse 2]
E                    B
So light a candle on your cake
C#m
For every smile you've helped create
E                      B
For every heart and every soul
C#m
You've known to grow a little more
E                    B
A few more pounds, a little more grey
C#m
Don't count the years just count the way
   A              B               C#m        B
It takes a little time to go from water into wine
A                   B               C#m               B
Don't ever lose the wonder of the child within your eyes

[Chorus]
      E           B
Happy birthday my friend
          F#m                 C#m
Here's to all the years we've shared together
B
All the fun we've had
              C#m
You're such a blessing
       F#m       A
Such a joy in my life
        C#m       B
May the good Lord bless you
        A        B           E
And may all your dreams come true

        C#m       B
May the good Lord bless you
        A        B           E     A E
And may all your dreams come true
