THE DEAD MILKMEN
Happy Is

Very simple in terms of chords. Some day I may tab out all the
fingerpicking, but don't hold your breath. You can make it sound
fairly convincing for yourself at home just by picking through
the chords in any old fashion. It'll do!

Oh, and unlike most Milkmen songs, play these chords open if you
like. I think it actually sounds better. Also if you're picking,
use a Dsus2 (xx0230) instead of the D. Sounds a bit better.


Lyrics:
------

Verse:
C            D
Happy is the bride
    C           D
The sun shines upon
C            D
Happy is the corpse
    G
The rain falls down upon
C           D
You say I'm happy
    C                  D
Ya' know that can't be true
      C          D
Cause I won't be happy
          G
'till I annihilate you

Chorus:
Em
Like some worm that crawls on the ground
A
Like someone we don't want around
           C                        Em
You're the unwanted relative at the picnic
A
Like some worm that crawls on the ground
D               C           G
Like someone we don't want around

verse:
Happy is the bride
The sun shines upon
Happy is the corpse
The rain falls down upon
You say I'm happy
Ya' know that that's a lie
Cause I won't be happy
'till I see you die

chorus:
Like some river they had to pollute
Like some mad dog we gotta shoot
We're gonna have to end your misery
Like some river they had to pollute
Like some mad dog we gotta shoot

Instrumental:  (consists of fingerpicking the following)

Em  Am
D   Em
C   Em
Am  D
Em  C

verse:
Happy are the children
Playin' in the sun
Happy is my wife
Her day of work is done
You say I'm happy
Ya' know that can't be true
Cause I won't be happy
'till I annihilate you

chorus:
Like some worm that crawls on the ground
Like someone we don't want around
You're the unwanted relative at the picnic
Like some worm that crawls on the ground
Like someone we don't want around

verse:
Happy is the bride
The sun shines upon
Happy is the corpse
The rain falls down upon

End on G.
