[Verse 1]
G          Cm        Fm7        
 I've been ready for hours and 
              Bb7
I'm wearing my best
                      Eb         
Ordered champagne and flowers and 
                       Cm
you're not even dressed
               Fm7          
Tonight's a special night to 
                    Dm7
remember with pride
      G7                  Cm  Bb7
These,   twenty happy years,  
                     Eb
since you became my bride
      Cm         Fm7       Cm    
It is all too ab-surd, you're so 
             Bb7
cross and ab-rupt
                 Eb         Bb
So I don't say a word or you're 
        G7    Cm
bound to erupt
                    Fm7     
Your peculiar moods,    I've 
                   Dm7
experienced before
   G7                      Cm     
So I'll pour another drink    and 
G7          C
quietly pace  the floor
                      Fm  E    
It's a quarter to eight,   as we 
               Ab
fretfully wait

    D7          Bb7      Eb      
For your little black dress, that
                 Bbm
 was promised by six
      Dbm     Cm    Fm
Is it just rotten luck, when we're 
doing the town
           Abm   Bb7     Eb      
That the fates should conspire, 
                 C
to let us mortals down
                   Fm           
I have seats for a show and it's 
              Bb7
opening night
                    Eb             
My shoes do not fit me and my suit 
           Cm
is too tight
                      Fm       
And you sit there and curse, an 
                 Dm7
occasional curse
G7                   Cm        
 And I've got a head-ache 
Fm       G7         Cm
that's, quick-ly getting worse
Fm  Ab  Bb7        Cm       Fm 
        Happy anni-versary,    
 Ab  Bb7        Cm           C#
     happy anni-versary   (Key 
Change - C#)

[Verse 2]
C#                       F#m7    
  They deliver your frock,   but 
                   B7
you're still in di-stress
                E               
It was past nine o'clock, when I 
               C#m
helped you to dress
                  F#m7             
I tried to do you up, but, it 
         D#m7
wasn't my day
        G#7         C#m       B7 
For then to fill my cup, your 
                  E
zipper stuck half way
C#                F#m7           
I got all in a sweat, over 
      B7
anxious and vexed
Will I, will I, will I, will I, will
        E
 I ever forget
                        C#m
The thing that happened next
                       F#m7      
Your dress just came a-part, with 
                  D#m7
one terrible tear
G#7                  C#m  G#7   
Your disappointed cries,  were 
           C#m
more than I could bear
C#                F#m7  C#      
 At eleven at last,      when we
             F#m7
 got into town
      B7              E        
We ar-rived at the show, but the 
              Bm7
curtain was down
Dm7       C#        F#m7
I suggest-ed a bite,      no, no you
 wanted to walk
        B7       E       B7      
You had no appet-ite and no 
         C#
desire to talk
                          F#m7     
So we strolled for an hour, and the
             B7
 evening was sweet
                 E               
And I bought you a flower, from a 
            C#m
man in the street
                      F#m7         
We kissed on the side-walk, without
                D#m7
 reason or rhyme
    G#7              C#m  F#m7    
And we knew that our love is much 
G#7           C#m
stronger than time
F#m7            C#m       F#m7  
     Happy anni-versary,       
          C#m       F#m7      
happy anni-versary,       happy 
      C#m   G#7  C#m
