Chords with lyrics

D MajorD       A augmentedA           B minorBm       D MajorD
It was a $1000 wedding supposed to be held the other day
     G+G     E MajorE          D MajorD        A augmentedA
And with all the invitations sent, the young bride went away
     D MajorD        A augmentedA
When the groom saw people passing notes
   BB  D/AD/A   G+G  E MajorE
Not unusual, he might say
  D MajorD          G+G
But where are the flowers for my baby
D MajorD            G+G
I'd even like to see her mean old mama
  D MajorD  A augmentedA  B minorBm       D MajorD      G+G       D MajorD G+G
And why ain't there a funeral, if you're gonna act that way

E MajorE A augmentedA

                E MajorE       A augmentedA
I hate to tell you how he acted when the news arrived
A augmentedA                   E MajorE         G+G
He took some friends out drinking, and it's lucky they survived
     D MajorD        A augmentedA         B minorBm     D/AD/A    E MajorE
Well, he told them everything there was to tell there along the way
    D MajorD          G+G
And he felt so bad when he saw the traces
  D MajorD       G+G
Of old lies still on their faces
D MajorD      A/C#A/C#       B minorBm     D/AD/A
So why don't someone here just spike his drink
        G+G         D MajorD  C majorC G+G
Why don't you do him in some old way
         D MajorD   C majorC G+G
Supposed to be a funeral
           D MajorD C majorC G+G
It's been a bad, bad day

E MajorE A augmentedA
                  E MajorE        A augmentedA
The Reverend Dr. William Grace was talking to the crowd
                       E MajorE          G+G
All about the sweet child's holy face and the saints who sung out loud
    D MajorD         A augmentedA
And he swore the fiercest beasts
          B minorBm     D/AD/A     G+G E MajorE
Could all be put to sleep the same silly way
D MajorD             G+G
And where are the flowers for the girl
D MajorD         G+G
She only knew she loved the world
  D MajorD     A/C#A/C#    B minorBm  D/AD/A   G+G    D MajorD      C majorC G+G
And why ain't there one lonely horn and one sad note to play
         D MajorD    C majorC G+G
Supposed to be a funeral
           D MajorD C majorC G+G
It's been a bad, bad day
         D MajorD    C majorC G+G
Supposed to be a funeral
           D MajorD C majorC G+G
It's been a bad, bad day
