Capo: 3

Are You Happy Now' - Richard Shindell (Sparrow's Point) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ transcribed by laura mrspremise77@aol.com i think this song is actually in the key of F, but i've seen him live and i believe he uses a capo on the 3rd fret, which would use the chords D G A Em, but i find it easier to put the capo on the first fret and play it this way: (of course if you have a better idea feel free to express it)

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW' ~Richard Shindell

(happy jangly strumming) capo I (barre chords where appropriate) E A E A

You^E took the toaster when you wen^At You never paid your half the r^Eent You took the spices from the ^Arack But you don't have to put 'em b^Eack 'Cause in your haste on Hallo^Bween You left your camera on the ^F#mbed Where we played roles in black and w^Ahite You left a roll of black and w^F#mhite I set the timer, thought of ^Byou Put the lens up to my h^F#mead I took a photograph for ^Ayou What comes out gray is really ^Ered

So are ^Byo^F#mu...^A happy no^Ew' Are ^Byo^F#mu...^A.. happy n^Eow' Are ^Byo^F#mu...^A. happy n^Eow' ^B ^F#m

^EI smashed your pumpkin on the fl^Aoor The candle flickered at my f^Eeet As goblins flew across the ^Amoon The children peered into the r^Eoom A cowboy shivered on the p^Borch And Cinderella checked her ^F#mwatch A hobo waited in the ^Astreet An angel whispered trick or ^F#mtreat What was I supposed to d^Bo But to sit there in the ^F#mdark I was amazed to think that yo^Au Would take the candy with you t^Eoo

So are ^Byo^F#mu...^A happy no^Ew' Are ^Byo^F#mu...^A.. happy n^Eow' Are ^Byo^F#mu...^A. happy n^Eow' ^B ^F#m

^EI've sat all night, and now it's dawn^A And I cannot believe my e^Eyes There's garbage strewn across the ^Alawn Where we once stared up at the s^Eky And streams of paper fill the t^Bree That hovered over you and ^F#mme And shaving cream covers the c^Aar That we picked up in Balti^F#mmore And though I know it's hard to t^Bell I hope that what's-his-name treats you )^F#mwell I still maintain that he's a ^Abum But it's your money, have some f^Eun

S^Bo ^F#mare ^A you... happy n^Eow' Are ^Byo^F#mu...^A.. happy n^Eow' Are ^Byo^F#mu...^A. happy n^Eow' ^B

^F#mYou always asked why I had ^Bnot Written you a verse or ^F#mtwo Since that's the one thing I ^Aregret I dedicate this one to y^Eou

^BSo^F#m are^A you... happy ^Enow' Are ^Byo^F#mu...^A.. happy n^Eow' Are ^Byo^F#mu...^A......^E ' ^B ^F#m ^E
