Song

EVERYBODY'S HAPPY NOWADAYS
Lyrics: Pete Shelley
A great song, very simple but effective. intro and theme is just C, A, G and F played
on the high E string.
Recently well covered by Ash with Chris Martin singing the chorus, on the soundtrack to
Shaun of the Dead - a great film.
Enjoy
i was so tired of being upset
always wanting something i never could get
life's an illusion love is a dream
but i don't know what it is
everybody's happy nowadays
everybody's happy nowadays
i was so tired of being upset
always wanting something i never could get
life's an illusion love is a dream
but i don't know what it is
'cos everybody's happy nowadays  
D Dm C# F# C# E (or F# again for two guitar harmony)
everybody's happy nowadays
life's an illusion love is the dream
but i don't know what it is
everyone's saying things to me
ut i know it's okay okay
everybody's happy nowadays
everybody's happy nowadays
everybody's happy nowadays
everybody's happy nowadays
life's an illusion love is a dream
life's an illusion love is the dream
life's the illusion love is a dream
life's the illusion love is the dream
everybody's happy nowadays
everybody's happy nowadays
todays are good bet you are tired of being upset
always wanting something you never can get
life's no illusion love's not a dream
now i know just what it is
everybody's happy nowadays
everybody's happy nowadays
