Lyrics

THE ANNIVERSARY DANCE (in E) 

E E7sus4 A A9(G bass) 
E E7sus4 A A9(G bass) 

VERSE 1: 
E 
Well, I worked all week walking that straight line 
B E 
Its finally Friday and its party time 
E 
Lets get into some music; let it all unwind 
B E 
At the Anniversary Dance 

E 
I dont want to listen to the love songs pleas 
B E 
Let me hear somethin with some elbow grease 
E 
Thats the only thing to sooth a savage beast 
B E 
Cause baby really he just wants to dance 

E E7sus4 A A9(G bass) 
E E7sus4 A A9(G bass) 

VERSE 2: 
I dont wanna hear about you feeling low 
Tune up the fiddle and rosin up the bow 
Flap your wings and tap your toes 
At the Anniversary Dance 

Put away the hymnals and the gospel please 
I have trouble dancing when Im on my knees 
That joyful noise is the life I lead 
Playin in the band 

BRIDGE: 
A G 
Sometimes a sad song seems to hit it right 
E B7 
Yeah. Not tonight. 

D A 
Pick it up, lick it up, step on it twice 
B 
Stretch it out and let it out 
Its gonna be nice 

E E7sus4 A A9(G bass) 
E E7sus4 A A9(G bass) 

VERSE 3: 
Everybody knows it and it aint no joke 
Homegrown music and holy smokes 
Why would you refuse it? Broken spokes 
Never help the wheel go round 

I danced holes in my toes drinkin whiskey down 
But youre never gonna do it on that lonesome sound 
That pretty much how the deal went down 
At the Anniversary Dance 

E E7sus4 A A9(G bass) 
E E7sus4 A A9(G bass)
