Start Jamming...
Alright, so we'll think of this as the first ever in history Sondheim singing Valentine's telegram or whatever.
You can visit it to your door.
We can work something out if you want me to do it later.
[D#] [C#] [B] Oh my [E] god.
[D#] [C#]
[B] [E] [G#m] Bless
Oh by the way, there's a lot [C#] of characters in this and [B] I'm gonna play all of them and [E] participate in it.
[D#] [C#] [B]
[E] [G#m] Bless this [C#m] [B] day.
[A] Pinnacle of [D#] life.
[C#m]
Husband joined to [G#] wife.
[F#m]
[C#] The heart [B] leaps up [C#m] to behold [A] this golden
[C#] day.
[D#m] [C#]
[F#]
[A#]
Pardon me, is everybody there?
[C#] Because if everybody's there I want to thank you all for coming to the [C#m] wedding.
I'd appreciate you going.
Even more, I mean, it must have us a better things to do and not avoid a bit to Paul.
Remember Paul, [F#m] you know the man I'm gonna marry.
But I'm not because I wouldn't ruin anyone as wonderful as he is.
[D#] So I thank you all for the gifts and the flowers.
Thank [G#] you all and a back to the showers.
And don't tell Paul but I'm not getting married [D#] today.
[F#] [A#m] Bless [D#] this [C#] day.
[B]
[D#] [D#m]
Husband [A#m] yoked to [D#m] wife.
[A#m]
[G#m] The heart [C#] sinks down and [D#m] feels dear.
[C#] [D#m] [A#] This drear
[D#] day.
[A#]
[A]
[D#] Pardon me, is
No, that's not right.
Listen everybody, look, I don't know what you're waiting for.
A wedding?
What's a wedding?
It's a prehistoric ritual [C#m] where everybody promises fidelity forever, which is maybe the most horrifying word I've [A#] ever heard.
And then [F#] the wedding which is followed by a honeymoon will suddenly he'll [F] realize he's saddled with a nun and want [D#] to kill me.
Which he should [F#] to listen.
Thanks a bunch.
But I'm not getting [G#m] married.
Go have lunch.
But I'm not getting married.
You've been grand.
But I'm not getting married.
Don't just stand there.
I'm not getting married.
And don't tell Paul but I'm not getting [C#] married [F#m] today.
[B] Go, can't you go?
Why is nobody listening?
Goodbye, go and cry at [F#m] another person's [G#m] wake.
If you're quick for a kick, you can pick up a christening.
But please, on my knees, there's a human [B] life at [A#] stake.
[D#] Listen everybody, I'm afraid you didn't hear it.
Do you want [C#] to see a crazy lady fall apart in front of [C#m] you?
It isn't only Paul who may [F#] be ruining this life.
You know, we're both busy losing our identities.
I telephoned my analyst about it.
[F#m] He said to call on Monday.
But by Monday I'll be floating in the Hudson with the other [C#] garbage.
I'm not well.
So I'm not getting married.
[G#m] You've been swell.
But I'm not getting married.
Clear the hall.
Cause I'm not getting married.
Thank you all.
But I'm not getting married.
And don't tell Paul.
I'm not getting married [F#] today.
[D]
[C#] Bless [Bm] this [A] bride.
[D] Totally [A] insane.
[Bm] Slipping down the drain.
[C#] [Em] And bless [B] this [A] day.
In [Bm] our
[G] hearts.
[F#] As it starts to [B] rain.
[A#m]
[B]
[F#m] Go, can't you [B] go?
Look, you know I adore you all.
But why watch me die?
Like Eliza on the ice.
Look, [G#m] perhaps I'll collapse in the apps right before you all.
So take back the cake, burn the shoes, and boil the rice.
[C#] Look, I didn't want to have to tell you, but I may be coming down with hepatitis.
And I think [F#] I'm gonna [E] faint.
So if you want to see me faint, I'll [F#] do it happily.
Wouldn't it be funnier to go and watch a funeral?
So thank you for the 27 dinner plates, 37 butter knives, and 47 pinger wits, and 57 candle holders.
[G#] I am not getting married.
But [G#m] I'm not getting married.
Still, I'm not getting married.
See, I'm not getting married.
Let us pray that I'm not getting married [F#] today.
[C#]
[F#] Any day.
[N]
