Hi there. I worked this out myself so its not 100% guaranteed but
I think its pretty right,  as for the lyrics.. they are off the top of my
head.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY       - by Concrete Blonde
--------------         off the album 'Free'


    F                          Am
Outside in the hall there's a cat-fight
                Bb                     C
Its just after midnight, I guess I'll be alright

Laying out on the floor, drunk and poor.
How much longer, how much more.

Oh rock me to sleep, strong and deep.
Screaming cats they give me the creeps

But aside from all that I feel no pain,
Staring up at the ceiling stains.


 Bb          F
Neon in the window,
 Bb          F
Sirens far away,
 Bb          F
News on the radio
       Gm              Bb              F
Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday


Well the cat next door, this whole floor,
I swear they're out to drive me crazy.

But not right now, I'm high as a cloud,
I'm soft and grey and lazy.


Smoking out the window,
Feeling far away,
News on the radio
Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday


(solo I think about now)


Throw me out the window
Somewhere far away
News on the radio
Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday

there you go, if anything is wrong with it I will repost
.. I use 6th string roots for some of the verses to get that muting.

bye
