Note II: 
G* = G   Gsus4    Gsus4 G G/C G 

Intro: 
G*   x4 

Verse: 
G*                                   G* 
I've been long, a long way from here 
G*  
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes, 
G                                C 
And drank 'til I was thirsty again 

Pre-Chorus 
G*                                           G* 
We went searching through thrift store jungles 
G*  
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo 
G                               C 
And Benny Goodman's corset and fan 
   (Am)               Dadd9   
Well, o.k. I made this up, 
  C                           Dadd9 
I promised you I'd never give up 

                Am       C                    G         D  
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad 
                Am       C                             G*         G* 
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, then why the hell are you so sad? 

Verse: 
You get down, real low down 
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train 
Well who hasn't been there before? 

Pre-Chorus 
I come round, around the hard way 
Bring you comics in bed; scr*pe the mold off the bread, 
And serve you French toast again 
Well, o.k. I still get stoned, I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home 


                Am       C                    G         D  
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad 
                Am       C                             G 
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, then why the hell are you so sad? 
                Am       C                    G         D  
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad 
                Am       C                             Em      Am 
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, then why the hell are you so sad? 
Em  Am  C  G*  G* 

Pre-Chorus 
We've been far, far away from here 
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes, 
And everywhere in between 
Well, o.k. we get along, so what if right now everything's wrong? 


If it makes you haaaaaaappy, it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad 
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, then why the hell are you so sad? 
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad 
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, then why the hell are you so sad? 

End: 
Am  C  G  D  D/C D/B 
Am  C  G*
