Happy birthday
for guitar
Sed - December 2002.
sed@free.fr

This file is in the public domain, use it as you want.
Standard tuning.
Tempo what you want, 80-90 is good for me.
So let's say andante.
This is almost in 6/4 (my real version is not
exactly in 6/4, but people may be disappointed
by it, so I just took away 2 or 3 notes here and
there). There is just a little exception with a 3/4
measure (where you are supposed to sing the name of
the one who has her birthday) and the last measure
which is also in 3/4.
It's a bit sad. I don't like birthdays.
The left hand fingering is the one I use, it may
not be the best.
No right hand fingering given, because I don't
like the one I use, so find it by yourself.
The underlying chords are simple, as you see.
There is a C, a G, an Em, a Dm, an Am and one
or two others I don't know what :-)
(very complex) English lyrics have been put below the lines.
If you have more complicated versions, with weird
chords (you know, some Asus4 and the like), post it !
I may post an oriental version of it, if I find time
to finish it (very weirdy timing).
If you record it, I would be happy to receive an
.mp3 or an .ogg of your recording.
I like it with a classical guitar, play it with what
you want.
You of course may repeat it as much as you want.
Enjoy your life. Take care of yourself.

This would be how I play it.......I throw a little heavy distortion
into sometimes for the hell of it.
Happy birthday
(time it how you want to)

This is my version which sounds about right to me...
When the notes ring just stick in a few vibratos, or
if u have a whammy bar then jam some of that in there
for the effect!! Try a bit of distorsion too, as it
sounds rather good on the low e and B strings!
