D/F#Sometimes I’m Ghappy,
D/F#Sometimes I’m Asad.
D/F#Sometimes I feel Ggood,
EmSometimes it’s Abad.
D/F#But when I am Ghappy,
And I’m F#holding your Emhand,
D/F#Nothing can Gstop me,
Not the Asea or the D/F#sand.
D/F#But when I am Gsad,
And my F#head’s in a Emwhirl,
I D/F#can’t get happyG, 
Not for Adiamonds or D/F#pearls.
I D/F#just can’t get Ghappy, 
Not for Adiamonds or D/F#pearls.
