Shiny Happy People Chords
Demo Lyrics & Pdf

As you know, this song starts off slow and picks up speed and repeats the same pattern in the middle of the number.

The chords you'll need here are:

  • G
  • Em
  • Bm
  • C
  • E
  • A

In  the chorus you have an over-lapping of the vocals so if you're performing this alone, you'll have to figure out what part of the line you're going to drop as I do in my demo here.

The rhythm is basically down strokes in the beginning but if you're not picking anything, that area you could play d-u-d-u-d-d-u-  d-u-d-u-d-d-u- and so on which covers the Bm and E in this first segment and the A in the second segment.

Once you begin singing you can use a d-d-u-d-u-d-u .... d-d-u-d-u-d-u- and on the G in the last line you can use downstrokes as you decend to the E chord.

The only picking in this is the riff which is mainly on the E string as described in the lesson as a series of pull-offs on the Bm chord and then played on the 2nd fret on the E chord.

Shiny Happy People Lyrics


Shiny happy people laughing

Meet me in the crowd, people, people
Throw your love around, love me, love me
Take it into town, happy, happy
Put it in the ground where the flowers grow - gold and silver shine

Shiny happy people holding hands - Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing

Everyone around, love them, love them
Put it in your hands, take it, take it
There's no time to cry, happy, happy
Put it in your heart where tomorrow shines - gold and silver shine
Shiny happy people holding hands - Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing

Whoa, here we go

Shiny happy people holding hands - Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing

Shiny happy people holding hands - Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing

Shiny happy people holding hands - Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing
