Guitar by a barely legal Craig Chaquico.
Instrumental opening: a playful, bouncy tune, played twice

4  5  6  -6  -5  -6  7  -6  -5  -6__-6

6  5  4  5  -4  4  -4__-4


4   5   6   6   6   7   -7 -6  6 5
If you gave me the time to be happy

4    6    6  -5   -4  5
I’d tell you what I’d do

4    6    6   7   -7 -6  6  6    5
I’d roll you down a tall grassy hill

 4   6 6   -5 -4  5
And follow after you
 
 4  5   6   6   6   7   -7 -6  6 5
If you gave me the time to be happy

4    6    6  -5   -4  5
I’d tell you what I’d do

4    6    6  7 -7  -6   6  6  6  5
I’d help you up to the top of a cloud

 4   6    6 -5  -4  5
And float away with you

 4    6  6  7    7  -7 -6    6
We’d be so high, a sailing free

 4  6  6  -5  -4   5
And be a drifting slow

4  6 6    7    -7   -6    6   5
A summer tune would sail with us

4  6  6  -5  -4   5
Wherever we would go

If you gave me the time to be happy
I’d tell you what I’d do
I’d make this song last for 22 hours
But I’d have to think of you
