I know it's a bit out of place, this being a Folk and Blues music place, just the same, I was wondering if anyone here knew the chords to any songs by the big bopper such as Chantilly lace (or any others that you might happen to know) as well as "If you wanna be happy(for the rest of your life) by Jimmy Soul, or any others by him. They It is rather hard to come by chords to any of their songs. Thanks for any help.

If You Want to be Happy, in C:

Chorus: F   G(7)   Em    C

        F   G(7)   G(7)  C

Verse:  C    C     G(7)  C

        C    C     G(7)  C

Chantilly Lace, in C:

Refrain: G(7) -- C --  

         G(7) -- C C(7)

         F    -- C --  

         G(7) -- C --  

The verse (spoken part) is probably done with the same three chords, but it would take some experimentation to work it out. Hope this helps.
