[Verse]
C                               G
Thought I'd call you up, see if you had celebrated
    F                         G
The day you were born, it's a little belated
    F                             G                   C   G7
But age is just a number and it's really overrated to me

         C                        G
Yeah and November 3rd, that's the day I remember
            F                       G
'Cause it's thirty-seven days after mine in September
    F                          G                   C     G7
You thought I'd forgot, 'cause here it is December again

[Chorus]
         C                                  C7
Oh happy birthday baby wanna see ya tonight
  F
I got your present waitin', I wanna do it right
        G7
I ain't got enough money for a big diamond ring
            F                                 C
Let's tie a brand new bow around the same old thing

C   F    G    C    G         C                      F     G   A7

(KEY CHANGE)

[Chorus]
           D                                  D7
Yeah happy birthday baby wanna see ya tonight
  G
I got your present waitin' and I wanna do it right
        A7
I ain't got enough money for a big diamond ring
            G                                 D
Let's tie a brand new boy around the same old thing
