INTRO: A D E A E A
#1.
E A E A
Some guys like a nine to five job and a
E A E A
house with a white picket fence.
E A E A
Some guys live for that weekly pay cheque,
Gb B
but to me it don't make much sense.
E A G A Ab
Now, I don't like a tight collar or a suit
A
with a matching tie.
E B Ab
I like to pick up and go where the four winds
A Gb B E
blow and that's why I'm a happy guy.
CHORUS:
A E A E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)
A E A E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)
A E A E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)
A E A E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)
#2.
E A E A
I steer clear of sweet talkin' gals, they got
E A E A
wedding bells on their minds.
E A E A Gb
They want a guy to stay home every night, but me,
B
I'm a different kind.
E A E A Ab
I move when I'm ready and I don't have to tell
A
you why.
E A Ab A
I just grab my hat and leave where I'm at and
Gb B E
that's why I'm a happy guy.
CHORUS:
A E A E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)
A E A E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)
A E A E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)

#3.
E A E A
You can look for me when I'm passing through and
E A E A
I'll stay awhile in your town.
E A E A
We can live it up and let the good times roll,
Gb B
but don't try to settle me down.
E A E A Ab
No girl's gonna chain me, I was born with a rovin'
A
eye.
E A Ab
And when the thrill is gone, well, I'll be moving
A Gb B E
on and that's why I'm a happy guy.
CHORUS:
A E A E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)
(Whoa-oh-oh-yeah)
A E A E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)
A E A E
Happy guy (bow-bow-bow-bow-bow)
