Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
Well, [C]I know where you're going
and who's gonna meet you there
I [F]know how late you'll be [C]coming home,
but [D]guess who doesn't [G]care
To[C]night I'll step out too,
and since I won't be here
[F]Happy birthday, [C]Merry Christmas, and
[G]Happy New Yea[C]r

[Chorus 1]
[F]My best wishes [C]may be early,
but [G]I'm not sticking a[C]round
To [F]bake a cake for [C]your birthday
while [D]you're out running a[G]round
She can [C]help you celebrate,
may she bring you lots of cheer
[F]Happy birthday, [C]Merry Christmas, and
[G]Happy New Yea[C]r

[Interlude 1]
[C][C][C]
[F][C][G][C]

[Verse 2]
[C]Now I've made my mind up,
played seconds long enough
[F]You think I don't [C]mean it,
so [D]you're gonna call my [G]bluff
But [C]I'll be busy packing
while you're holding her near
[F]Happy birthday, [C]Merry Christmas, and
[G]Happy New Yea[C]r

[Chorus 2]
[F]My best wishes [C]may be early,
but [G]I'm not sticking a[C]round
To [F]bake a cake for [C]your birthday
while [D]you're out running a[G]round
She can [C]help you celebrate,
may she bring you lots of cheer
[F]Happy birthday, [C]Merry Christmas, and
[G]Happy New Yea[C]r

[Outro 1]
[F]Happy birthday, [C]Merry Christmas, and
[G]Happy, Happy New [C]Year[F][C][C]
