Gm      C


[Verse 1]

F                          Gm      C
Happiness is like a bird with twenty wings
F        Dm             C
try to catch him as he flies
F                          Gm    C
Happiness is like a bird that only sings
F       Dm              C
when his head is in the skies


[Verse 2]

F7                                      Bb
You can try to make him walk beside you
G7                              C
You can say the door is open wide
A                               D
If you grab at him, woe betide you,
Gm                      C
I know because I've tried.


[Verse 3]

F                          Gm   C
Like a butterfly upon an April morning
F      Dm                  C
very quickly taking fright
F                               Gm          C
Happiness is come and gone without a warning
F        Dm             C
Jack-O-Lantern in the night


[Verse 4]

F7                      Bb
I will follow him across the meadow
G7                      C
I will follow him across the hill
F              Gm               Bb         Gm
and if I can catch him I will try to bring you,
     C          F
oh yes, happiness
Bb                         F        D7
If I can catch him I will try to bring you
        Gm   Bb    C     F
all my love and happiness
