Happy Martin Sexton
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)
[G]You and I here [D/F#]all alone [F]Sunday morning [C]here at home
The [Cm]sky is blue as the c[G]offees strong It's [D]true
[G]Far away on this [D/F#]ocean blue [F]Just cross town on East [C]Avenue
I'm in the [Cm]grocery line but I might as well be in [G]Timbuktu
My minds [D]wandering
But then I [F]open my eyes To this [C/E]dream realized In front of [G]me
[F] [C/E]
Oh[D] and I haven't got a clue What in the world is happening to me
I think I'm [G]happy Like the f[D/F#]irst day of summer vacation
[F]Happy when I get some [C]rest and relaxation
[Cm]Happy like the c[G]hoir on Sunday morning Sweet and [D]true
[G]Oo sister when you [D/F#]cook that way [F]Sweet distraction [C]rules the day
The [Cm]kitchen table honey [G]just might break
To the s[D]ound of you and I rockin our bodies
[F]I don't understand why I wasn[C/E]'t your lover man A hundred [G]years ago
The fellas are gonna [F]have to understand
And tip their [C/E]hats to the man who sco[D]red
Hot damn I'm so [G]happy Like l[D/F#]ovin you all night long
[F]Happy and slee[C]ping on our front lawn
[Cm]Happy like [G]hearing my favorite song on the [D]radio
[D]Take me to the bridge
Cuz I've [C]been round this [Cm]world a h[G]undred times
And I n[C]ever knew love could [Cm]happen this [G]way
I thi[C]nk of you so [Cm]often and I [G]know that you are
Thinking of me [D]too
That makes me so [G]happy like the [D/F#]first day of summer vacation
[F]Happy apple [C]pie and relaxation[Cm]
Like [G]peace all round the world we're living [D]on
End: C Cm G
