Intro:
BB D MajorD E MajorE BB

Verse:
BB
Sammy and Katie went a little too far
   D MajorD
In a Johnson grass out behind the barn
    E MajorE
Now he ain't got the money for gas
        BB
Or a ticket out west
There's gonna be a finger on the trigger when her daddy finds out
  D MajorD
His baby ain't been eating but she's putting on pounds
E MajorE
Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest

Chorus:
      BB
Is he gonna run
      D MajorD
Is he gonna stay
    E MajorE
Will he say I do, or I don't
       BB
It's hard to say, but either way
        D MajorD        E MajorE
It's a day this whole town won't forget
                      BB  D MajorD E MajorE BB
Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest

Verse:
  BB
And Betty on the organ, here comes the bride
     D MajorD
With her half hammered daddy and his evil eye
  E MajorE                       BB
Old Sammy at the altar, sweating in his camouflage vest
Preacher man looking like he just saw a ghost
D MajorD
Daddy's sawed off sticking out from under his coat
E MajorE                     BB
Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest

Chorus:
      BB
Is he gonna run
      D MajorD
Is he gonna stay
    E MajorE
Will he say I do, or I don't
       BB
It's hard to say, but either way
        D MajorD        E MajorE
It's a day this whole town won't forget
                      BB  D MajorD E MajorE G+G A augmentedA BB

Verse:
BB
Preacher says bow your head and thank the lord
  D MajorD
Oh Sammy sees a break and bolts through the door
E MajorE                    BB
Looks like that vest will be put to the test
Yeah buckshot buzzing all around his head
    D MajorD
It's a wonder that boy ain't never been dead
E MajorE
I guess he just ain't ready yet

Chorus:
      BB
Look at him run
        D MajorD
He ain't gonna stay
   E MajorE
Won't say I do
                BB
'Cause he knows there ain't no way
        D MajorD        E MajorE
It's a day this whole town won't forget
                      BB
Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest

Ending:
D MajorD          E MajorE
Aw, look at him run, ha ha ha
           BB
He done passed up the buckshot
He's gone, daddy
D MajorD              E MajorE BB
Took the stop sign with him
