*Intro* 

Em  

*verse 1*  

Em 
We've been friends for thirty years 
         Am 
and I'm not always the best at bringing you Birthday cheer.  
    Em 
In fact, most years I don't even get you a gift  
     B  
But this year, I'm giving you an awesome guitar riff!  


*Awesome guitar riff*  

Em  

Am  
       That's a guitar riff!  
                                      Am*   Em 
It also doubles as your Birthday gift.  

B   
      That's your Birthday gift.  

It also doubles as a guitar riff...  


*verse 2*  

Em  
Working together, we see a lot of each other.  
Am  
You might say it's almost like we're brothers.  
    Em  
And just like family, we sometimes fight.  
             B  
Well, I'll admit that at least ten percent of the time... you are RI-I-IGHT!  


*Chorus*  

           Em                     Am  
It's your Birthday! You're thirty-five.  
           Em                                         B  
And that's halfway to seventy. And seventy's when you die,  
                          Em  
Seventy's when you die.  


*verse 3*  

   Em  
So live it up and do what you please.  
          Am  
'Cause in ten years, you're gonna have to replace both of your knees.  
  Em  
Enjoy this here Birthday song.  
              B  
'Cause in the overall scheme of things... Brother, you don't have long.  


*Chorus*  

           Em                     Am  
It's your Birthday! You're thirty-five.  
           Em                                         B  
And that's halfway to seventy. And seventy's when you die,  
                   Em  
Seventy's when you die.  


Enjoy! Be your mythical best.
