(Gm7)Fools rush in, so (Eb)here I am

more than glad to be un (Bb)hap py.

Un re quit ed (Bb7)love’s a (F)bore,

and I’ve got it pret ty (F)bad.

But for some one (Bb7)you a (F)dore,

it’s a pleas ure to be (F)sad.

(Gm7)Like a stray ing (Eb)ba by lamb,

with no mam my (Gm7)and no (C7)pap py,

I’m so un (Dm7)hap py,

but (C13)oh,

so

(F)glad!

(Gm7)Fools rush in, so (Eb)here I am

more than glad to be un (Bb)hap py.

Un re quit ed (Bb7)love’s a (F)bore,

and I’ve got it pret ty (F)bad.

But for some one (Bb7)you a (F)dore,

it’s a pleas ure to be (F)sad.

(Gm7)Like a stray ing (Eb)ba by lamb,

with no mam my (Gm7)and no (C7)pap py,

I’m so un (Dm7)hap py,

but (C13)oh,

so

(F)glad!
