This is a fairly simple song to play.
Simple chord progression that Marty does is enhanced with his freestyle form.
Good luck and don't be afraid to try something different.
The second half of the first verse is not in the album version, but if you listen to 
early recordings of this, you will hear this verse.
I liked it so I added it in.  Impress you friends.
Intro:      G    D/F#     F     C    Cm    G  D  
(Play an open C and then a bar Cm. Sounds better)
GYou and I here D/F#all alone      FSunday morning Chere at home
The Cmsky is blue as the cGoffees strong   It's Dtrue
GFar away on this D/F#ocean blue        FJust cross town on East CAvenue
I'm in the Cmgrocery line but I might as well be in GTimbuktu
My minds Dwandering
But then I Fopen my eyes           To this C/Edream realized In front of Gme
         F                                        C/E
Oh Dand I haven't got a clue            What in the world is happening to me
I think I'm Ghappy      Like the fD/F#irst day of summer vacation
FHappy       when I get some Crest and relaxation
CmHappy       like the cGhoir on Sunday morning         Sweet and Dtrue
GOo sister when you D/F#cook that way       FSweet distraction Crules the day
The Cmkitchen table honey Gjust might break
To the sDound of you and I rockin our bodies
FI don't understand why I wasnC/E't your lover man     A hundred Gyears ago
The fellas are gonna Fhave to understand
And tip their C/Ehats to the man who scoDred
Hot damn I'm so Ghappy    Like lD/F#ovin you all night long
FHappy     and sleeCping on our front lawn
CmHappy     like Ghearing my favorite song on the Dradio
DTake me to the bridge
Cuz I've Cbeen round this Cmworld a hGundred times
And I nCever knew love could Cmhappen this Gway
I thiCnk of you so Cmoften and I Gknow that you are
Thinking of me Dtoo
That makes me so Ghappy      like the D/F#first day of summer vacation
