Shotgun Wedding chords by Montgomery Gentry

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Intermediate

Intro:
B D E B

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

Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest

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

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

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

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

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

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