Wedding Bells

Capo 2
   D             A               D
I  have the invi-tation that you sent me
                 A                    D     D7
You wanted me to see you change your  name
  G                                D
I couldn't stand to see you wed an-other
    A                                 D     D7
But dear I hope you're happy just the same.


G                                D
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
     A                                 D    D7
That should be ringing now for you and me
G                                       D
Down the aisle with someone else you're walkin'
      A                                 D
Those wedding bells will never ring for me.


I planned a little cottage in the valley
I even bought a little band of gold
I thought some day I'd place it on you finger
But now the future looks so dark and cold.


Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
I hear the children laughing now with glee
At home alone I hang my head in sorrow
For wedding bells will never ring for me.


I fancy that I see a bunch of roses
A blossom from an orange tree in your hair
While the organ plays I love you truly
Please let me pretend that I am there.


Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
Ever since the day you set me free
I knew someday that you would wed another
But wedding bells will never ring for me.
