Richard Shindell Are You Happy Now written by Richard Shindell Richard Shindell vocals/guitar Lucy Kaplansky harmony Larry Campbell violin/banjo Mark Dann bass Howie Wyeth drums F You took the toaster when you went Bb F You never paid your half the rent Bb You took the spices from the rack Bb F But you don't have to put 'em back C Cause in your haste on Halloween Gm You left your camera on the bed Bb Where we played roles in black and white Gm You left a roll of black and white C I set the timer thought of you Gm Put the lens up to my head Bb I took a photograph for you F What comes out gray is really red C GmBb F So are you happy now C GmBb F Are you happy now C GmBb F C Are you happy now F Bb I smashed your pumpkin on the floor F The candle flickered at my feet Bb As goblins flew across the room F The children peered into the room C A cowboy shivered on the porch Gm Cinderella checked her watch Bb A hobo waited in the street Gm An angel whispered trick or treat C What was I supposed to do Gm But to sit there in the dark Bb I was amazed to think that you F Would take the candy with you too C GmBb F So are you happy now C GmBb F Are you happy now C GmBb F C Are you happy now F Bb I've sat all night and now it's dawn F And I cannot believe my eyes Bb There's garbage strewn across the lawn F Where we once stared up at the sky C And streams of paper fill the tree Gm That hovered over you and me Bb And shaving cream covers the car Gm That we picked up in Baltimore C And though I know it's hard to tell Gm I hope that what's his name treats you well Bb I still maintain that he's a bum F But it's your money have some fun C GmBb F So are you happy now C GmBb F Are you happy now C GmBb F C Are you happy now Gm C You always asked why I had not Gm Written you a verse or two Bb Since that's the one thing I regret F I dedicate this one to you C GmBb F So are you happy now C GmBb F Are you happy now C GmBb F C Are you happy now C GmBb F Are you happy now From Richard Shindell "Sparrows Point" Shanachie Records
