Go Radio - Your Birthday Song

hey go radio fans! this is “birthday song” as i figure it . i know there are
other versions that work , but i prefer this structure . to figure it out , i
listened to the bass line in the guitar that starts each little chord
arpeggio .

C : ( x32010 ) v [ this is more convenient ]
G : ( 320001 ) G * : ( 355433 ) G * * : ( x20001 )
Am : ( 002210 ) Am * : ( 577555 ) ^ [ use G * if you don’t like this where i put it . ]
Em : ( 022000 ) ^ [ gives the leading tone in the right octave . same for G * * ]
F : ( 133211 )

C G Am Em
he was sitting on the back porch singing , “you’re my only sunshine”
F G * C
swinging to songs only he heard in his head
C G Am Em
now he’s cutting paper swords from boxes to hang inside his room
F G * C
and watch them spin into the wind above his bed

C G Am Em
singing “take me down this road i’m on
F G * C
it’s late and i don’t wanna go alone .
C G Am

Em F G * C
