*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.
