Song: Birthday Song Artist: Ben Lee The previous transcription by whitejonathan@hotmail.com was right except he did not include the fact that the song is done in Eb tuning, that is, tuning the guitar down a half step. the rest stands correctly as this: Intro: D Bm (x2) D Bm Hey there i said it i'm in love with you D Bm There's an ocean between us just like me deep and blue D Bm And i at times have had nothing D Bm But tonight i want nothing but you Bm You're the only thing i want the only thing i want E E* E the only thing on my mind GAD all the time. D Bm (x2) D Bm Staying up till dawn won't take its toll 'til we get old D Bm And drinking is just the way we keep away the cold D Bm And you, you know what it means D Bm To be true, and searching like me Bm You're the only thing I need the only thing i need E E* E the only thing on my mind GAD all the time. Bm E E* E Any you gave me a reason to give you my soul G A D I'll give you it all. Bm You're the only one i want the only one i need E E* E the only one on my mind GAD all the time GAD all the time GAD all the time GAD all the time. ------------------------------------- Song: Birthday Song Artist: Ben Lee Submitted by Jono (whitejonathan@hotmail.com) Chords: D Bm E E* G A 2-------2-------0-------2-------3-------0----------------------- 3-------3-------0-------0-------3-------2----------------------- 2-------4-------1-------1-------0-------2----------------------- 0-------4-------2-------2-------0-------2----------------------- --------2-------2-------2-------2-------0---------------------- ----------------0-------0-------3---------------------------- Note: When playing the D and Bm sections, add these little embellishments where appropriate (ie listen to the CD).
