[Verse 1]
Another Dbride, F#dim7 another Em7June A7
Another Dmaj7sunny D7 honeyGm9moon Gm7
Another Dseason, F#dim7 another Bb7reason A7
For makin' Dwhoopee F#dim7 Em7 A7

A lot of Dshoes, F#dim7 a lot of Em7rice A7
The groom is Dmaj7nervous, D7 he answers Gm9twice Gm7
It's really Dkillin' F#dim7 that he's so Bb7willin' A7

[Chorus 1]
F#dim7Picture a little Emlove nest
GmDown where the roses Dcling
F#dim7Picture the same sweet Emlove nest
GmThink what a year can Bb7bring A7
[Verse 3]
He's washin' Ddishes F#dim7 and baby Em7clothes A7
He's so amDmaj7bitious D7he even Gm9sews Gm7
But don't forDget folks F#dim7 that's what you Bb7get folks,A7

Of makin' Dwhoopee F#dim7 Em7 A7
[Verse 5]
She sits aDlone, F#dim7 most every Em7night A7
He doesn't Dmaj7phone; D7he doesn't Gm9write Gm7
He says he's Dbusy, F#dim7 but she says "Bb7Is he? A7
He's makin' Dwhoopee" A7 D
[Chorus 2]
F#dim7He doesn't make much Emmoney - Gmonly five thousand Dper
F#dim7Some judge who thinks he's Emfunny Gmsays you'll pay six to Bb7her A7
[Verse 6]
He says,"DJudge, F#dim7 suppose I Emfail?" A7
The judge says: "Dmaj7Bud, D7you go to Gm9jail" Gm7
You'd better Dkeep her, F#dim7 you’ll find it's Bb7cheaper A7
