G Cm Fm7 Bb7
I've been ready for hours and I'm wearing my best
Eb Cm
Ordered champagne and flowers and you're not even dressed
Fm7 Dm7
Tonight's a special night to remember with pride
G7 Cm Bb7 Eb
These, twenty happy years, since you became my bride
Cm Fm7 Cm Bb7
It is all too ab-surd, you're so cross and ab-rupt
Eb Bb G7 Cm
So I don't say a word or you're bound to erupt
Fm7 Dm7
Your peculiar moods, I've experienced before
G7 Cm G7 C
So I'll pour another drink and quietly pace the floor
Fm E Ab
It's a quarter to eight, as we fretfully wait
D7 Bb7 Eb Bbm
For your little black dress, that was promised by six
Dbm Cm Fm
Is it just rotten luck, when we're doing the town
Abm Bb7 Eb C
That the fates should conspire, to let us mortals down
Fm Bb7
I have seats for a show and it's opening night
Eb Cm
My shoes do not fit me and my suit is too tight
Fm Dm7
And you sit there and curse, an occasional curse
G7 Cm Fm G7 Cm
And I've got a head-ache that's, quick-ly getting worse
Fm Ab Bb7 Cm Fm Ab Bb7 Cm C#
Happy anni-versary, happy anni-versary (Key Change - C#)
C# F#m7 B7
They deliver your frock, but you're still in di-stress
E C#m
It was past nine o'clock, when I helped you to dress
F#m7 D#m7
I tried to do you up, but, it wasn't my day
G#7 C#m B7 E
For then to fill my cup, your zipper stuck half way
C# F#m7 B7
I got all in a sweat, over anxious and vexed
E
Will I, will I, will I, will I, will I ever forget
C#m
The thing that happened next
F#m7 D#m7
Your dress just came a-part, with one terrible tear
G#7 C#m G#7 C#m
Your disappointed cries, were more than I could bear
C# F#m7 C# F#m7
At eleven at last, when we got into town
B7 E Bm7
We ar-rived at the show, but the curtain was down
Dm7 C# F#m7
I suggest-ed a bite, no, no you wanted to walk
B7 E B7 C#
You had no appet-ite and no desire to talk
F#m7 B7
So we strolled for an hour, and the evening was sweet
E C#m
And I bought you a flower, from a man in the street
F#m7 D#m7
We kissed on the side-walk, without reason or rhyme
G#7 C#m F#m7 G#7 C#m
And we knew that our love is much stronger than time
F#m7 C#m F#m7 C#m F#m7 C#m G#7 C#m
Happy anni-versary, happy anni-versary, happy anni-ver - sa - ry
