[Verse 1]

[Verse 1] G Born on the fourteenth, under a pink winter sky C Little Joel came cryin’ with a sparkle in his eye G Out on Wilgus Road where the gravel meets the hops D A farm boy with a slingshot, shootin’ love so sweet and hot G Live arrows flyin’ wild through the dusty country air C Matchin’ hearts together like they’d always been there G No tellin’ how many couples got their start that way D (build) Thanks to Grandview’s Cupid on those long summer days [Chorus – Full band kicks in, upbeat swing, harmonies stack] G Grandview’s Cupid, shootin’ straight and true C Made the whole valley fall in love with you G From the river bottoms to the ridgetop view D Hearts were connectin’ ‘cause of what you’d do G C Oh, Grandview’s Cupid… (hey!) G D Happy birthday to you [Verse 2 – Keep the groove rolling, add light Tele fills] G Prosser Mustangs dancin’ under Friday night lights C Gym packed to the rafters, record crowds every night G Class of ’83, when the music finally slowed D They say the magic lingered even after you rode G No one knows the stories that came after that June C How many rings were given beneath a harvest moon G How many kids were named after nights you set the spark D (slight build) Grandview’s Cupid vanished, but he left his mark [Chorus – Bigger now, add organ swells and backing "oohs"] G Grandview’s Cupid, shootin’ straight and true C Made the whole valley fall in love with you G From the river bottoms to the ridgetop view D Hearts were connectin’ ‘cause of what you’d do G C Oh, Grandview’s Cupid… (yeah!) G D Happy birthday to you [Bridge – Strip back slightly: acoustic + bass + light drums, then build] Em C Then came Andrea, down where the boats run fast G D Columbia River roarin’, jet skis cuttin’ past Em C He stole her heart outright—no arrow in his hand G D Just a smile and a throttle, Heaven’s perfect plan Em C Threw her on the back, wind tearin’ through her hair G D Two souls locked together like they’d always been there Em C No need for a slingshot when the match was divine G D (full band crashes back in) Grandview’s Cupid finally found his own valentine [Final Chorus – Full throttle, celebratory, add pedal steel cry and group harmonies] G Grandview’s Cupid, hang the bow up high C You shot enough arrows to light up the sky G Now you ride beside her, watchin’ sunsets come alive D Still makin’ connections… just keepin’ one for life G C Oh, Grandview’s Cupid… (ohhh yeah!) G D Happy birthday, Joel… (happy birthday!) G C Happy birthday, Joel… (our hometown hero!) G D G Happy birthday, Joel… still shootin’ straight [Outro – Slow fade on acoustic strum + distant Tele slide + soft organ] G C G D G (Happy birthday, Joel… Grandview’s Cupid rides on…)
