Happy Birthday - simple guitar TAB
Getting the rhythm right
There is a jolly ‘bounce’ to this song, which is shown by the symbols in brackets just above the first bar. This shows that the 8th notes should all be played with a bounce aka swing rhythm. In basic terms, this means play it to the rhythm that you would sing it - singing along will help!
