Wikipedia.org quotes the 1998 Guinness Book of World Records as identifying “Happy Birthday” as “the most recognized song in the English language”. It is probably the most well-known song in three-four time. A simple three-chord song using I, IV and V, “Happy Birthday” is an easy learn that can be pulled out over and over again for impromptu performances… in the glow of birthday candles!
This song is a great choice to teach strumming in three-four time as well as ear training and writing tablature.
