Dance Little Jean

Key: G

Introduction:

           G 
Played a wedding for the money
                                                                                       C 
And I wish I could have told the bride and groom
                     D7 
Just what I think of marriage
                                                               G 
What's in store after the honeymoon
I was rumbling through the verses
                                                                             C 
About how men and women ought to live apart
             D7 
How a promise never made could not be broken
                                                 G 
And would never break a heart
Suddenly from out of nowhere
                                                                                     C 
This little girl came spinning across the floor
         D7 
Her crinolines were billowing
                                                                 G 
Beneath the skirt of calico she wore
As her joy fell on the honored guests
                                                                         C 
Each one of them was drawn into her dream
                   D7 
And they laughed and stamped and clapped their hands
                                                                   G 
And hollered at her dance little Jean
                     C                                                                 G 
They said dance little Jean this day is for you
                                                   A7                               D7 
Two people that you love stood up to say I do
 C                                                                         G                               C 
Dance little Jean the prayer that you had was answered today
           D7                                       G 
Your Momma's marrying your dad
Well this cynic's heart just melted
                                                                         C 
As I figured what this get together meant
                       D7 
And how it ended years of tears
                                                                                         G 
And sad confusions that the little girl had spent
They told the band to pack it up
                                                                     C 
About the time the couple cut the cake
               D7 
But we stayed and we played all night long
                                                                                 G 
For love and laughs and little Jeanie's sake
                     C                                                                 G 
We played dance little Jean this day is for you
                                                   A7                               D7 
Two people that you love stood up to say I do
 C                                                                         G                               C 
Dance little Jean the prayer that you had was answered today
           D7                                       G 
Your Momma's marrying your dad
                 C                                                                 G 
We sang dance little Jean this day is for you
                                                   A7                               D7 
Two people that you love stood up to say I do
 C                                                                         G                               C 
Dance little Jean the prayer that you had was answered today
           D7                                       G 
Your momma's marrying your dad
