[Intro]
D E7 A
Ooh, country wedding bells
[Verse 1]
A E7
Beyond the noisy city, in the quiet countryside
E7 A
There's a chapel filled with people, at the altar stands a bride
A D
In the still of Sunday morning, breaking the magic spell
D E7 A
In the distance, I hear country wedding bells
[Chorus]
D E7 A
Country boy, all alone, in the city
B7 E7
I've stayed away too long, I'm losing her today
A D
As the bells ring out the gladness, my country castle fell
D E7 A
To the singing, ringing country wedding bells
[Interlude]
D E7 A
[Verse 2]
A E7
I forgot and still she waited and our love hung by a thread
E7 A
While the painted tainted flowers of the sidewalk turned my head
A D
She'll shed a tear of gladness as old friends wish her well
D E7 A
I'll cry a country tear for country wedding bells
[Chorus]
D E7 A
Country boy, all alone, in the city
B7 E7
I've stayed away too long, I'm losing her today
A D
As the bells ring out the gladness, my country castle fell
D E7 A
To the singing, ringing country wedding bells
D E7 A
To the singing, ringing country wedding bells
