Happy Happy Joy Joy Uke tab by Misc Television

Intro/First Voice Part
----------------------

[Strum alternating G7 and C chords slowly:]


G7
"Hello boys and girls! This is your old pal Stinky Whizzleteats!"

C
"This is a song about a whale.... no!"

G7
"This is a song about being happy!  That's right!"


[Begin the C strum pattern below]


C Strum Pattern (During Verses and Talking)
-------------------------------------------


FIG. A

       C      C/G
A|-----3-------3----|
E|-----0-------0----|
C|--0--0-------0----|
g|-----0----0--0----|



Sort of a variation on an open C strummed over and over,
alternate between picking the 3 on the E and the on the A,
whichever you pick strum the rest of the chord afterwards.
This gives the song its bouncy feel.

Play FIG A 6 times as you say, "It's the happy happy joy joy song!".

Then the seventh time around play this ascending 'fill'

FILL A

       C      C/G     C/A     C/B
A|-----3-------3----|-----3-------3----|
E|-----0-------0----|-----0-------0----|
C|--0--0-------0----|-----0-------0----|
g|-----0----0--0----|--2--0----4--0----|
