Verse 1:
G It’s been a long time since we got together C Back in Seventy-three G For all it’s worth I just can’t see D What you saw in a guy like me G But thanks to Motown music we got together C And we married in Eighty-one G So here we are forty years on D And still going strongC G Forty Years on, we’re still rocking C G Forty Years on, we’re not stopping C G Forty years on, we’ll keep going D There’s still a lot of living to doVerse 2:
G Through rain and shine, ups and downs C The Fates have smiled on us G We’ve sailed through life very happily D And never made too much fuss G We’ve had our kids and grandkids too C And a very fine bunch they are G We brought them up to do what’s right D And they surely will go farC G Forty Years on, we’re still rocking C G Forty Years on, we’re not stopping C G Forty years on, we’ll keep going D There’s still a lot of living to doBridge:
Em We’ve been together every step of the way Am We’ve had silver, ruby and next stop gold Em Forty years on it’s another great day D There be lots more – we’re not that old !!Verse 3:
G Now nobody knows what lies ahead C What the future has in store G But whatever comes we’ll be together D That much I know for sure G Nothing on earth will tear us apart C We’ll stick to each other like glue G And come what may we’ll always know D That our love is strong and trueC G Forty Years on, we’re still rocking C G Forty Years on, we’re not stopping C G Forty years on, we’ll keep going D There’s still a lot of living to do
