Intro:             (2X)
C             F/C G/C                      C
 Sadness had been     close as my next of kin
C                    F/CG           G/FE7 E7
                                      /4  
  Then Happy came one day,   chased my blues away
A7          Dm7
  My life began when Happy smiled
G7             C
  Sweet, like candy to a child
Am               D7
  Stay here and love me just a while
     G
Let sadness see what Happy does
     G7
Let Happy be where Sadness was
C               F/C  G/C              C
  Happy, that's you,     You made my life brand new
C         F/C           G     G/F   E7   E7
                                    /4    
 Lost as a little lam was I   till you came  in
A7          Dm7
  My life began when Happy smiled
G7             C
  Sweet, like candy to a child
Am               D7
  Stay here and love me just a while
     G
Let sadness see what Happy does
     G7
Let Happy be where Sadness was
C         F/C
  Till now
C               F/C G/C                    C
  Where have I been,   what lifetime was I in
C                 F/C          G  G/FE7   E7
                                     /4    
 Suspended between time and space,  lonely until 
A7             Dm7
  Happy came smiling up at me
G7            C
  Sadness had no choice but to flee
Am          D7
  I said a prayer so silently
     G
Let sadness see what Happy does
     G7
Let Happy be where Sadness was
