Your Birthday Song Chords
Hey Go Radio fans! This is "Birthday Song" as I figure it. I know there are
other versions that work, but I prefer this structure. To figure it out, I
listened to the bass line in the guitar that starts each little chord
arpeggio.
C: (x32010) v[This is more convenient]
G: (320001) G*: (355433) G**:(x20001)
Am:(002210) Am*:(577555) ^[Use G* if you don't like this where I put it.]
Em:(022000) ^[Gives the leading tone in the right octave. Same for G**]
F: (133211)
C G Am Em
He was sitting on the back porch singing, "You're My Only Sunshine"
F G* C
Swinging to songs only he heard in his head
C G Am Em
Now he's cutting paper swords from boxes to hang inside his room
F G* C
And watch them spin into the wind above his bed
C G Am Em
Singing "Take me down this road I'm on
F G* C
It's late and I don't wanna go alone.
C G Am
Take me down this road
Em F G* C
I won't be scared, 'cause we can't be scared."

C G Am
And I'm searching for a sign that you're still here
Em F G* C
And I'm alright but now I'm down here on the ground I think I'll pray
C G Am Em
'Cause Tallahassee's fine but, Dad, I miss you all the time
F G*
And I know you're gone, but not too long
Am* G**
And I hope you fucking love your birthday song
C G Am Em
If you'll take me down this road I'm on
F G* C
It's late and I don't wanna go alone.
C G Am
Take me down this road
Em F G* C
I won't be scared, 'cause we can't be scared."
C G Am
It's 4:09, west over by a hill
Em F G* C
There is some clover and a bridge where my father lets me play
C G
And I was taking it for granted
Am Em
You were there to hold my hand and say,
F G* C
"Don't worry, son, 'cause this will be okay."
C G Am Em
Singing "Take me down this road I'm on
F G* C
It's late and I don't wanna go alone.
C G Am
Take me down this road
Em F G* C
I won't be scared, 'cause we can't be scared." Ohhh
C G Am Em
Singing "Take me down this road I'm on
F G* C
It's late and I don't wanna go alone.
C G Am
Take me down this road
Em F
I won't be scared, 'cause we can't be scared."
