Intro: E 

verse 1 
            E 
I heard your best friend say, you shouldn't have treated her that way 
   E 
You could've been a little bit kinder 
         E 
He didn't give you no gift, didn't send you no smoke 
   E 
You didn't even get a reminder 
 

[Refrão]
    E 
It's too bad, it's too bad, it's too bad on your birthday 
    E 
It's too bad, too bad, too bad on your birthday 

verse 2 
 E 
I loved her once, lasted several months 
   E 
And I was in love, even blinder 
   E 
She left me, I cried, my tears have been dried 
    E 
So I leave you this little reminder 
 

[Refrão]
    E 
It's too bad, it's too bad, it's too bad on your birthday 
   E 
It's too bad, it's too bad, it's too bad on your birthday
