Key: A major
Verse 1
G
C
Played a wedding for the money and I wish I
F
could have told the bride and groom
G
Just what I think of marriage,
what's in store after the honeymoon.
C
I was rumbling through the verses about
F
how men and women ought to live apart,
G
How a promise never made could not be broken
and would never break a heart.
C
Verse 2
Suddenly from out of nowhere this little
F
girl came spinning across the floor
G
Her crinolines were billowing beneath
C
the skirt of calico she wore.
As her joy fell on the honored guests each
F
one of them was drawn into her dream
G
And they laughed and stamped and clapped their hands and hollered at her,
dance little jean!
C
Verse 3
They said:
F
G
C
Dance little jean, this day is for you,
Am
G
Two people that you love stood
D
G
up to say 'i do.'
F
Dance little jean,
G
C
the prayer that you had was answered today-
F
G
C
Your momma's marrying your dad.
Verse 4
C
Well this cynic's heart just melted as
F
I figured what this get together meant
G
And how it ended years of tears and sad
C
confusions that the little girl had spent.
They told the band to pack it up about
F
the time the couple cut the cake
G
But we stayed and we played all night long for love
and laughs and little jeanie's sake
C
Verse 5
We played:
F
G
C
Dance little jean, this day is for you,
Am
Two people that you love stood
D
G
up to say 'i do.'
F
Dance little jean,
G
C
the prayer that you had was answered today-
F
G
C
Your momma's marrying your dad.
Verse 6
F
We sang:
G
C
Dance little jean, this day is for you,
Am
Two people that you love stood
D
G
up to say 'i do.'
F
Dance little jean,
G
C
the prayer that you had was answered today-
F
G
C
Your momma's marrying your dad.
