Verse 1

   5      -4  5  -4    5    5     6

Here's a little song I wrote

   4      -4        -4    4   -4    4    5      4     -4

You might want to sing it note for note

   5       4   4     5    4    4

Don't worry, be happy

-4   5 -4   5   -4      5       -4      6    4

In every life we have some trouble

  4      -4        4    -4  -4     4      5      4  -4   4

But when you worry you make it double

   5       4    4      5   4  4

Don't worry, be happy (don't worry, be happy now)

(Repeat intro)

Verse 2 

   5      5   -4      5    -4   5     5        6

Ain't got no place to lay your head

-4   -4    4       -4      4      6       5      -4

Somebody came and took your bed

   5       4   4     5    4   4

Don't worry, be happy

  6       7     -7  -6       6       -6    5   6

The landlord say your rent is late

 -4   -4    -4     4    6  4  4 

He may have to litigate

   5       4    4      5   4  4

Don't worry, be happy

(Repeat intro)

Verse 3

    5      5   -4     5       -4      5   5      6

Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style

   -4   -4     4  -4   4      6       5       4

Ain't got no gal to make you smile

   5        4    4     5   4    4

Don't worry, be happy

   6          7        -7        -6        6        -6    5      6

'Cause when you worry your face will frown

   4     -4     -4     -4     -4   4   6  4     4

And that will bring everybody down

 4      5       4    4      5   4  4

So don't worry, be happy  (don't worry, be happy now)

(Repeat intro to fade)
