LYRICS & CHORDS
(Words & Music © DC Cardwell 2010)

It's your birthday, happy birthday, (D, Bm)
I hope you have a good one. (G, A7)
When you came here on your birth day (D, Bm)
You felt the breath of someone. (G, A7)

CHORUS: When the sun shines down, (G, D)
And the rain falls down, (G, D)
You will grow up strong and high. (G, D, A7)
They are good for you, (G, D)
They were made for you, (G, D)
As a present from the sky. (F#m, A7sus, A7)

On your birthday please remember (D, Bm)
All the good things that you have done. (G, A7)
On your worst day you'll forget them, (D, Bm)
And you'll think of all the bad ones. (G, A7)

RPT CHORUS
GUITAR SOLO
(Em, Gm6, D, F#m, Em, Gm6, A7sus, A7)

Tried to buy something to suit your taste, (D, Bm)
But didn't quite know how. (G, A7)
Birthday past and birthday future, (D, Bm)
Here's your birthday present now! (G, A7, D)

This was shot live in my home studio using a Samsung VP-D361i Mini DV camcorder and the audio was recorded on a PC using an Edirol M-16 DX digital mixer and Adobe Audition 3. The vocal microphone was a Behringer B-1 large diaphragm condenser. The guitar was my Mugen "the 78" captured with a stereo pair of Behringer C-2 microphones. Afterwards I overdubbed: bass (old Hofner Beatle bass copy by Grant, DI'd), electric guitars (Epiphone Casino through Peavey Delta Blues amp), glockenspiel (a plastic Angel AX-25N2), Wurlitzer electric piano (actually a Korg Microkorg XL synthesizer), tambourine, maracas, egg shaker and a dDrum drum kit.
