July 21st 1997,
    Am                  F    
And no one had heard of you.
    C                        G
But one decade later there's queues at the door,
       Am                      F
People placing their order and shouting for more.
Am               F     Am               F
How far you have come, how far you have come.

  C                        G
Enchanted the world with a story you wrote,
     Am                   F
Of a boy who was ordinary.
        C                                 G
And now parents read to children who have long been asleep
            Am                      F
Cause they want to know more about wizard Harry.
Am               F     Am               F
How far you have come, how far you have come.

So Ms. Rowling,
Am                         F
Here is a song I wrote for you.
          C                           G
Cause I'm grateful for all that you've taught me
    Am             F
And inspired me to do.
    C                            G
You showed me good triumphs over evil,
        Am                           F
And you taught the whole world how to read.
   C                 G        Am                         F
So thank you, Ms. JK Rowling, thank you so much for Harry.

       C                         G
Though all seven books have been finished and read,
    Am                     F
The magic is still burning strong.
    C                      G
And we who were there will never forget,
       Am           F
The anticipation we felt for so long.
Am               F     Am               F
How far you have come, how far you have come.

       C                       G
And we grow up with Harry, the boy who lived,
        Am                           F
Who has helped us through all the bad times.
        C                           G
And the theories and mysteries, the questions and clues,
         Am                      F
Were the talk of the forums, and in our hearts too.
Am               F     Am               F
How far you have come, how far you have come.

So we'll raise our pumpkin juice and our Butterbeer,
          Am                               F
And we'll sing about the great things you've done.
             C                        G
And we'll be happy now Voldemort's defeated,

And we'll cheer for Harry who won.
