Bm G           D               G       
I have the invitation that you sent me
                 Am  D   G
You wanted me to see you change your name
  C                             G
I couldn't stand to see you wed another
Bm  D                  Am    D        G    (walk up to C )
But dear I hope you're happy just the same

Chorus 1

C                                G
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
G7   Am                D               G  (walk up to C )
That should be ringing now for you and me
C                        (walk dn to G) G               
Down the aisle with someone else you're walking
C#    Am                 D              G    D#            
Those wedding bells will never ring for me

Verse 2

        G#               D#             G#      D#             
Now I'd planned a little cottage in the valley
           G#        C#    D#      G#   G#7
And I even bought a little band of gold
   C#                                  G#
I thought someday I'd place it on your finger
    D#            C#       D#       G#   (walk up to C# )
But now my future looks so dark and cold

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
      C#               D#              G#
That should be ringing now for you and me

Down the aisle with someone else you're walking

Those wedding bells will never ring for me
