intro
verse chorus x6 

 EVERYBODY'S HAPPY NOWADAYS
Lyrics: Pete Shelley
A great song, very simple but effective.  intro and theme is just C, A, G and F played
on the high E string.
Recently well covered by Ash with Chris Martin singing the chorus, on the soundtrack to
Shaun of the Dead - a great film.
Enjoy
