Wedding Bells Hank Williams

I [D] have the invi-[A] tation that you [D] sent me

You wanted me to [A] see you change your [D] name [D7]

I [G] couldn't stand to see you wed an-[D] other

But [A] dear I hope you're happy just the [D] same. [D7]

[G] Wedding bells are ringing in the [D] chapel

That [A] should be ringing now for you and [D] me [D7]

[G] Down the aisle with someone else you're [D] walkin'

Those [A] wedding bells will never ring for [D] 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 your 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.

Note. Recorded March 20, 1949
