Happy Together

Words and Music by Garry Bonner and Alan Gordon

Key: Em

Time: 4/4 steady, solid beat

     Em           
Imagine me and you, I do; 
                  D
I think about you day and night, 

It's only right 
                   C       
To think about the girl you love, 

and hold her tight; 
           B7
so happy together 

            Em
If I should call you up,

invest a dime 
                  D
And you say you belong to me, 

and ease my mind 
                C
Imagine how the world could be, 

so very fine; 
           B7
so happy together

I can't see me loving nobody but you,

When you're with me,
Bm7                     E
baby the skies will be blue; 
           G
for all my life 

Em
Me and you, 

and you and me; 
                   D
no matter how they tossed the dice, 

it had to be 
                 C
The only one for me is you, 

and you for me; 
           B7
so happy together 

E              Bm                E
I can't see me loving nobody but you,

When you're with me,
Bm                     E
baby the skies will be blue, 
           G
for all my life 

Em
Me and you, 

and you and me;
                   D
no matter how they tossed the dice, 

it had to be 
                 C
The only one for me is you,

and you for me; 
           B7    Em
so happy together

So happy together

How is the weather? 
           B7    Em
So happy together 
           B7    Em
So happy together 
           B7    E
So happy together

Valentine Music Worksheets and Songs

With Valentine's Day approaching, if you are a piano teacher, you will want to look at a plethora of Valentine's Day Worksheets to print out for the kids. I use many of Kristin's Music Theory Worksheets with my beginner and intermediate students. Teachers Playground has so many fun resources for piano teachers, too.

Em           C   
Nothing can separate

Even if I ran away
Em                C     G   D
Your love never fails

Em            C   
I know I still make mistakes

Your love never fails

C                G                 D/F#
You stay the same through the ages
Am          G/B      C
Your love never changes
             G                     D/F#               Am
There may be pain in the night but joy comes in the morning

C       G             D/F#
And when the oceans rage
        Am           G/B    C

But I'm not alone here in these open seas
      Em                C     G   D
Cause Your love never fails
Em           C   
The chasm is far too wide
G                             D/F#
I never thought I'd reach the other side
    Em                C     G   D
But Your love never fails

You make  all things  work together for my good.
