Chorus:
D F A#maj7 G
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
D F A#maj7
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
G D
because you're evil and you lie
F
and if you should die
A#maj7 G D F D
I may feel slightly sad but I won't cry
G D C
Loved and lost and some may say
D
when usually it's nothing surely
C Cmaj7
you're happy it should be this way?
D C
I say "No, I'm gonna kill my dog" and
D
"May the lines sag, the lines sag heavy
C Cmaj7
and deep tonight"
Chorus
I said "No"
And then I shot myself
So, drink, drink, drink
And be ill tonight
From the one you left behind
From the one you left behind
From the one you left behind
From the one you left behind

Oh, unhappy birthday
