[Intro]
| A7 | A7 | D | A7 |
[Verse 1]
D A D
I have the invitation that you sent me
A7 D D7
You wanted me to see you change your name
G D
I couldn't stand to see you wed another
A7 D
But dear I hope you're happy just the same
[Chorus 1]
G D
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
A7 D
That should be ringing now for you and me
G D
And down the aisle with someone else you're walking
A7 D
Those wedding bell will never ring for me
[Verse 2]
A7 D
I planned a little cottage in the valley
A7 D D7
I even bought a little band of gold
G D
For I thought some day I'd place it on your finger
A7 D
But now the future looks so dark 'n cold
[Chorus 2]
G D
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
A7 D
I hear the children laughing now with glee
G D
At home alone I bow my head in sorrow
A7 D
For wedding bells will never ring for me
[Verse 3]
A D
I fancy that I see a bunch of roses
A7 D D7
A blossom from an orange tree in your hair
G D
And while the organ plays I love you truly
A7 D
Please let me pretend that I am there
[Chorus 3]
G D
For wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
A7 D D7
Ever since the day you set me free
G D
I knew someday that you would wed another
A7 A D
But wedding bells will never ring fo-or me
