SIXTEEN CANDLES
By Luther Dixon & Allyson R. Khent


Six-teen can-dles make a love-ly light
-7*  7    -6 -5*   7   7  -6 -5*   5
But not as bright as your eyes to-night
-5* -5* -6 -5 -3* 8   8   -7*  7*   7  
Blow out the can-dles, 
-7*   7  -6  -6  -5*
make your wish come true
7     7   -6   -5*    5
For I’ll be wish-ing that you love me, too 
-5* -5*  -6  -5  -3*  7*   7*  7   -6  -5*
You’re on-ly six-teen 
8      8 -7*  8   7* 
But you’re my teen-age queen 
8     8    8  -7*  7*    7
You’re the pret-ti-est, 
7       7* -7*  7  7*
Love-li-est girl I’ve ev-er seen 
-7*  7  7*  -7*   8  -7* 7   -6   

Six-teen can-dles in my heart will glow
-7*  7    -6 -5*  7  7   -6    -6   5
For  ev-er and ev- er for I love you so 
-5* -5*-5* -6  -5 -3* 7*  7* 7    -6 -5*

REPEAT

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
