July 21st 1997,
Am F
And no one had heard of you.
C G
But one decade later there's queues at the door,
Am F
People placing their order and shouting for more.
Am F Am F
How far you have come, how far you have come.
C G
Enchanted the world with a story you wrote,
Am F
Of a boy who was ordinary.
C G
And now parents read to children who have long been asleep
Am F
Cause they want to know more about wizard Harry.
Am F Am F
How far you have come, how far you have come.
C G
So Ms. Rowling,
Am F
Here is a song I wrote for you.
C G
Cause I'm grateful for all that you've taught me
Am F
And inspired me to do.
C G
You showed me good triumphs over evil,
Am F
And you taught the whole world how to read.
C G Am F
So thank you, Ms. JK Rowling, thank you so much for Harry.
C G
Though all seven books have been finished and read,
Am F
The magic is still burning strong.
C G
And we who were there will never forget,
Am F
The anticipation we felt for so long.
Am F Am F
How far you have come, how far you have come.

And we grow up with Harry, the boy who lived,
Am F
Who has helped us through all the bad times.
C G
And the theories and mysteries, the questions and clues,
Am F
Were the talk of the forums, and in our hearts too.
Am F Am F
How far you have come, how far you have come.
C G
So Ms. Rowling,
Am F
Here is a song I wrote for you.

So thank you, Ms. JK Rowling, thank you so much for Harry.
C G
So we'll raise our pumpkin juice and our Butterbeer,
Am F
And we'll sing about the great things you’ve done.

And we'll be happy now Voldemort’s defeated,
Am F
And we'll cheer for Harry who won.
