Don’t Worry, Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin

Intro (Whistling)

C Dm F C x2

Verse 1

[C]Here's a little song I wrote,

[Dm]And you can learn it note for note,

Don't [F]worry… be [C]happy.

[C]In every life we have some trouble,

[Dm]When you worry you'll make it double

Don't [F]worry… be [C]happy.

(Don't worry, be happy now)

Chorus

[C]Ooh…. [Dm]Ooh…. Don't [F]worry, be [C]happy x2

Verse2

[C]Ain't got no place to lay your head,

[Dm]Somebody came and took your bed,

Don't [F]worry… be [C]happy

[C]The landlord say your rent is late,

[Dm]He may have to litigate,

Don't [F]worry… be [C]happy

(Look at me, I’m happy)

Chorus

[C]Ooh…. [Dm]Ooh…. Don't [F]worry, be [C]happy x2

(Can I give you my phone number? When you worry, call me, I make you happy)

Don't [F]worry, be [C]happy x2

Verse 3

[C]Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style,

[Dm]Ain't got no gal to make you smile,

But don't [F]worry… be [C]happy.

Cause [C]when you worry your face will frown,

[Dm]And that will bring everybody down,

So don't [F]worry… be [C]happy

(Don't worry, be happy now)

Chorus

[C]Ooh…. [Dm]Ooh…. Don't [F]worry, be [C]happy x2

Outro (Whistling to fade)
