Anniversary Song

Words & Music by Al Jolson & Saul Chaplin
Recorded by Al Jolson, 1946


E      Esus4 E            Am   A9  Am
Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed; 

    Dm   D9   Dm   Am    A9  Am  E  Fdim   E    Am
We vowed our true love though a word was - n't said.

    E        Esus4  E                Am   A9 Am
The world was in  bloom, there were stars in the skies,

  Dm   D9  Dm   Am  A9  Am    E   Fdim  E    Am
Except for the few that were there in  your eyes.


F           Dm7         G9   G  Bm7-5  C
Dear, as I held you so close in   my arms, 

F            Dm7      G9   G  Bm7-5  C
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms,

     Dm           Dm+7          Dm7      Am
Two hearts gently beating were murmuring low,

    Dm7         Am  E7  Am
"My darling, I love you so."


    E           Esus4 E        Am     A9    Am
The night seemed to  fade into blos - som - ing dawn;

    Dm   D9   Dm  Am  A9  Am   E     Fdim  E     Am
The sun shone a - new but the dance ling - ered on.

      E     Esus4   E             Am    A9   Am
Could we but re - live that sweet mo - ment sublime,

     Dm   D9   Dm   Am  A9 Am   E    Fdim  E   Am
We'd find that our love is un - al - tered by time.
