Introduction:
D A Bm D
It was a $1000 wedding supposed to be held the other day
G E D A
And with all the invitations sent, the young bride went away
D A
When the groom saw people passing notes
Bm D/A G E
Not unusual, he might say
D G
But where are the flowers for my baby
D G
I'd even like to see her mean old mama
D A Bm D G D G
And why ain't there a funeral, if you're gonna act that way
E A
I hate to tell you how he acted when the news arrived
A E G
He took some friends out drinking, and it's lucky they survived
D A Bm D/A E
Well, he told them everything there was to tell there along the way
D G
And he felt so bad when he saw the traces
D G
Of old lies still on their faces
D A/C# Bm D/A
So why don't someone here just spike his drink
G D C G
Why don't you do him in some old way
D C G
Supposed to be a funeral
D C G
It's been a bad, bad day
E A
The Reverend Dr. William Grace was talking to the crowd
E G
All about the sweet child's holy face and the saints who sung out loud
D A
And he swore the fiercest beasts
Bm D/A G E
Could all be put to sleep the same silly way
D G
And where are the flowers for the girl
D G
She only knew she loved the world
D A/C# Bm D/A G D C G
And why ain't there one lonely horn and one sad note to play
D C G
Supposed to be a funeral
D C G
It's been a bad, bad day
D C G
Supposed to be a funeral
D C G
It's been a bad, bad day
