Richard Shindell vocals/guitar
Lucy Kaplansky harmony
Larry Campbell violin/banjo
Mark Dann bass
Howie Wyeth drums
[F]You took the toaster when you went
[Bb]You never paid your half the r[F]ent
You took the spices from the [Bb]rack
[Bb]But you don't have to put 'em [F]back
Cause in your haste on Hallo[C]ween
You left your camera on the [Gm]bed
Where we played roles in black and [Bb]white
You left a roll of black and [Gm]white
I set the timer thought of [C]you
Put the lens up to my [Gm]head
I took a photograph for [Bb]you
What comes out gray is really [F]red
So are [C]yo[Gm]u [Bb]happy [F]now
Are [C]yo[Gm]u [Bb]happy [F]now
Are [C]yo[Gm]u [Bb]happy [F]now [C]
[F]I smashed your pumpkin on the [Bb]floor
The candle flickered at my [F]feet
As goblins flew across the [Bb]room
The children peered into the [F]room
A cowboy shivered on the [C]porch
Cinderella checked her [Gm]watch
A hobo waited in the [Bb]street
An angel whispered trick or [Gm]treat
What was I supposed to [C]do
But to sit there in the [Gm]dark
I was amazed to think that [Bb]you
Would take the candy with you [F]too
So are [C]yo[Gm]u [Bb]happy [F]now
Are [C]yo[Gm]u [Bb]happy [F]now
Are [C]yo[Gm]u [Bb]happy [F]now [C]
[F]I've sat all night and now it's [Bb]dawn
And I cannot believe my [F]eyes
There's garbage strewn across the [Bb]lawn
Where we once stared up at the [F]sky
And streams of paper fill the [C]tree
That hovered over you and [Gm]me
And shaving cream covers the [Bb]car
That we picked up in Baltim[Gm]ore
And though I know it's hard to [C]tell
I hope that what's his name treats you [Gm]well
I still maintain that he's a [Bb]bum
But it's your money have some f[F]un
So are [C]yo[Gm]u [Bb]happy [F]now
Are [C]yo[Gm]u [Bb]happy [F]now
Are [C]yo[Gm]u [Bb]happy [F]now [C]
[Gm]You always asked why I had [C]not
Written you a verse or [Gm]two
Since that's the one thing I [Bb]regret
I dedicate this one to [F]you
So are [C]yo[Gm]u [Bb]happy [F]now
Are [C]yo[Gm]u [Bb]happy [F]now
Are [C]yo[Gm]u [Bb]happy [F]now [C]
Are [C]yo[Gm]u [Bb]happy [F]now
