Here's the song with the standard tuning. Hopefully this works :) From the

2008 album

"To The Bottom of the Sea"

Thanks :)

Capo 4 or 5 (depending which key is better for you!)
Am
Grab the chair, boys! We've got another bucket kicker!
Am E7
Happy Birthday my olde friend
Am
It seems this horror show will never end
E7
Any moment's your last breath
Am
Here is to another day closer to death
Am
The cake is on the table

And it is awfully bright
Dm
'Cos there's so many candles on top
Am
And you are so decrepit

Your chest so tight
E7 Am
When you blow them out your lungs are gonna pop
Am
And you cannot complain

Each time you feel a pain
Dm
Though you have arthritis and gout
Am
'Cos when you start kvetching

All your teeth fall out
E7
So have another cigarette

Have another beer

Raise your glass to one more year (gone!)
Am E7
Happy Birthday my olde friend
Am
It seems this horror show will never end
E7
Any moment's your last breath
Am
Here is to another day closer to death
Am
Your skin is so worn out and old
Dm
All over your body it's saggin'
Am
Especially loose is your old caboose
E7 Am
You're dragging it behind you in a wagon
