Intro: B C#m E  
   
B   
Here's a little song I wrote   
 C#m   
You might want to sing it note for note    
            E         B   
But don't worry, be happy   
   
B   
Every life we have some trouble   
C#m   
When you worry you make it double 
            E      B   
But don't worry, be happy   
   
(Don't worry, be happy now)   
   
B       C#m   E B           
  Don't worry   Be happy    
      
B       
   
Ain't got no place to lay your head   
C#m  
Somebody came and took your bed   
            E        B  
But don't worry, be happy   
 
B   
The landlord said your rent is late  
C#m   
You may have to lift the gate 
           E         B  
But don't worry, be happy   
B    C#m         E  B  
     Don't worry    Be Happy
