Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Am][C][G]
[G][Am][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Here's a little song I wrote
You [Am]might want to sing it note for note
Don't [C]worry, be [G]happy
[G]In every life we have some trouble
[Am]But when you worry you make it double
Don't [C]worry, be [G]happy

[Chorus 1]
Don't worry, be happy now
[G](Ooh, ooh ooh oo-ooh
oo-ooh [Am]oo-ooh) don't worry
(Oo-ooh [C]oo-ooh) be happy
(Oo-ooh, [G]ooh) don't worry, be happy
[G](Ooh, ooh ooh oo-ooh
oo-ooh [Am]oo-ooh) don't worry
(Oo-ooh, [C]oo-ooh) be happy
(Oo-ooh, [G]ooh) don't worry, be happy

[Verse 2]
[G]Ain't got no place to lay your head
Some[Am]body came and took your bed
Don't [C]worry, be [G]happy
The [G]landlord say your rent is late
[Am]He may have to litigate
Don't [C]worry, [G]be happy

[Chorus 2]
(Look at me, I'm happy)
[G](Ooh, ooh ooh oo-ooh
oo-ooh [Am]oo-ooh) don't worry
(Oo-ooh [C]oo-ooh) be happy
(Oo-ooh, [G]ooh)
Here I give you my phone number,
when you worry, call me, I make you happy,
[G](Ooh, ooh ooh oo-ooh
oo-ooh [Am]oo-ooh) don't worry
(Oo-ooh, [C]oo-ooh) be happy
(Oo-ooh, [G]ooh)

[Verse 3]
[G]Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
[Am]Ain't got no gal to make you smile
Don't [C]worry, be [G]happy
'Cause [G]when you worry your face will frown
And [Am]that will bring everybody down
So don't [C]worry, be [G]happy

[Chorus 3]
Don't worry, be happy now
[G](Ooh, ooh ooh oo-ooh
oo-ooh [Am]oo-ooh) don't worry
(Oo-ooh [C]oo-ooh) be happy
(Oo-ooh, [G]ooh) don't worry, be happy
[G](Ooh, ooh ooh oo-ooh
oo-ooh [Am]oo-ooh) don't worry
(Oo-ooh, [C]oo-ooh) be happy
(Oo-ooh, [G]ooh) don't worry, be happy

[Verse 4]
[G]Now there, is this song I wrote
[Am]I hope you learned it note for note
Like good little [C]children,
don't worry, be [G]happy
Now listen to what I said,
[G]in your life expect some trouble
[Am]When you worry you make it double
Don't [C]worry, [G]be happy,

[Chorus 4]
be happy now
[G](Ooh, ooh ooh oo-ooh
oo-ooh [Am]oo-ooh) don't worry
(Oo-ooh [C]oo-ooh) be happy
(Oo-ooh, [G]ooh) don't worry, be happy
[G](Ooh, ooh ooh oo-ooh
oo-ooh [Am]oo-ooh) don't worry
(Oo-ooh, [C]oo-ooh) be happy
(Oo-ooh, [G]ooh) don't worry, be happy

[Chorus 5]
[G](Ooh, ooh ooh oo-ooh
oo-ooh [Am]oo-ooh) don't worry...
(Oo-ooh [C]oo-ooh) be happy
(Oo-ooh, [G]ooh) put a smile in your face
Don't bring...
[G](Ooh, ooh ooh oo-ooh
oo-ooh [Am]oo-ooh) don't worry
(Oo-ooh, [C]oo-ooh) it will soon pass...
(Oo-ooh, [G]ooh) don't worry, be happy
