Capo on 1st fret
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A E
Wedding bells rang out today but not for me
E A
They were for somebody else and my old used-to-be
A A7 D
Had to catch a train, I couldn't stand the news
A E A
I'm on a honeymoon with the blues
[Verse 2]
A E
Thought her invitation was an answer to my note
E A
Saying I was sorry for the unkind words I spoke
A A7 D
But it's just a one-way ticket that I can't refuse
A E A A7
To a honeymoon with the blues
[Chorus 1]
D E A
So roll on, eight-wheel driver, take me far away
E A
A thousand miles may not be far enough
D E A F#
The blues and I are celebrating our wedding day
B7 E
Better check my ticket so I'll know where I get off
[Verse 3]
A E
I know that we're not headed for Niagara Falls
E A
But any destination would just lead me to four walls
A A7 D
Where I'll spend weary nights wearing out my shoes
A E A
On my honeymoon with the blues
[Bridge]
A E A A7
[Chorus 2]
D E A
Never thought I'd make this trip without the girl of my dreams
E A
Choosing rice over what I'd had in mind
D E A F#
So mister engineer, won't you turn on the steam?
B7 E
Leaving all my dreams way behind
[Verse 4]
A E
Say porter, I'd like to order drinks for two
E A
I know that I'm alone, but then, that's nothing new
A A7 D
And while I'm celebrating, here's a drink for you
A E A
On my honeymoon with the blues
A E A
I'm on a honeymoon with the blues
