Happy Birthday My Olde Friend

• Am

Here's the song with the standard tuning. Hopefully this works :) From the 2008 album 
"To The Bottom of the Sea"
Thanks :)


Capo 4 or 5 (depending which key is better for you!)

Am
Grab the chair, boys! We've got another bucket kicker!

Am                     E7
Happy Birthday my olde friend
                                     Am
It seems this horror show will never end
                       E7
Any moment's your last breath
                                 Am
Here is to another day closer to death

Am
The cake is on the table
And it is awfully bright
     Dm
'Cos there's so many candles on top
    Am
And you are so decrepit
Your chest so tight
         E7                                 Am
When you blow them out your lungs are gonna pop

Am
And you cannot complain
Each time you feel a pain
       Dm
Though you have arthritis and gout
     Am
'Cos when you start kvetching
All your teeth fall out
   E7
So have another cigarette
Have another beer
Raise your glass to one more year (gone!)

Am                     E7
Happy Birthday my olde friend
                                     Am
It seems this horror show will never end
                       E7
Any moment's your last breath
                                 Am
Here is to another day closer to death

Am
Your skin is so worn out and old
Dm
All over your body it's saggin'
Am
Especially loose is your old caboose
       E7                          Am
You're dragging it behind you in a wagon

Am
Well, you're an alcoholic
And you're blind and deaf
    Dm
And you have Alzheimer's I bet
Am
You're too old to remember
But you're too drunk to forget
   E7
So have another cigarette
Have another beer
Raise your glass to one more year (gone!)

Am                     E7
Happy Birthday my olde friend
                                     Am
It seems this horror show will never end
                       E7
Any moment's your last breath
                                 Am
Here is to another day closer to death

Em                           Am
You're so old you smell like dust
Em                          Am
And now your bones begin to rust
Em                          Am
See that face, it's full of wrinkles
   E7
So have another cigarette
Have another beer
Raise that chair to one more year (raise!)

Am                     E7
Happy Birthday my olde friend
                                     Am
It seems this horror show will never end
                       E7
Any moment's your last breath
                                 Am
Here is to another day closer to death

Am                     E7
Happy Birthday my olde friend
                                     Am
It seems this horror show will never end
                       E7
Any moment's your last breath
Here is to another day closer
Dm E7         Am
To your sweet death


E7 E7 E7 Am
