Um....have you ever played the tenor sax? Happy birthday is pretty simple and you shouldnt need music for it.

Besides that it can be played in any key.

Lets say you start on an A

A A B A D C# A A B A E D A A A (Octave higher) F# D D C# G G F# D E D

You shouldn't really play a saxaphone if you can't work that tune out by yourself, it's the most popular sung song in the world. smile.gif
