[Verse 1]
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#)

[Verse 2]
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
