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

[Chorus]
G Am
            C         G                      
Don't worry, be happy. Don't worry, be happy.
G Am
            C         G                      
Don't worry, be happy. Don't worry, be happy.

[Verse 2]
G                                  
Ain't got no place to lay your head
Am                             
Somebody came and took your bed
       C         G    
Don't worry, be happy.
G                                 
The landlord say your rent is late
Am                     
He may have to litigate
        C         G   
Don't worry, be happy.
    G            G      
Look at me -- I'm happy.

[Chorus]
G Am
            C         G
Don't worry, be happy.
G                   G                               G    
Here I give you my phone number. When you worry, call me,
I make you happy.
G Am
            C         G
Don't worry, be happy.

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

[Chorus]
G Am
            C         G                 G    
Don't worry, be happy. Don't worry, be happy.
G Am
            C         G                 G    
Don't worry, be happy. Don't worry, be happy.

[Outro]
G Am
                        C             
Don't worry, don't worry, don't do it.
         G                         
Be happy. Put a smile on your face.
G                          Am
Don't bring everybody down.
            C                                  G
Don't worry. It will soon pass, whatever it is.
   G               G  
Don't worry, be happy.
Am              C            G
I'm not worried, I'm happy...
