*Intro*

Em 

*Verse 1* 

Em
We've been friends for thirty years
         Am
and I'm not always the best at bringing you Birthday cheer. 
    Em
In fact, most years I don't even get you a gift 
     B 
But this year, I'm giving you an awesome guitar riff! 


*Awesome guitar riff* 

Em 

Am 
       That's a guitar riff! 
                                      Am*   Em
It also doubles as your Birthday gift. 

B  
      That's your Birthday gift. 

It also doubles as a guitar riff... 


*Verse 2* 

Em 
Working together, we see a lot of each other. 
Am 
You might say it's almost like we're brothers. 
    Em 
And just like family, we sometimes fight. 
             B 
Well, I'll admit that at least ten percent of the time... you are RI-I-IGHT! 


*Chorus* 

           Em                     Am 
It's your Birthday! You're thirty-five. 
           Em                                         B 
And that's halfway to seventy. And seventy's when you die, 
                          Em 
Seventy's when you die. 


*Verse 3* 

   Em 
So live it up and do what you please. 
          Am 
'Cause in ten years, you're gonna have to replace both of your knees. 
  Em 
Enjoy this here Birthday song. 
              B 
'Cause in the overall scheme of things... Brother, you don't have long. 


*Chorus* 

           Em                     Am 
It's your Birthday! You're thirty-five. 
           Em                                         B 
And that's halfway to seventy. And seventy's when you die, 
                   Em 
Seventy's when you die.
