View chords used in this chart
Capo 2
D A D
I have the invi-tation that you sent me
A D D7
You wanted me to see you change your name
G D
I couldn't stand to see you wed an-other
A D D7
But dear I hope you're happy just the same.
G D
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
A D D7
That should be ringing now for you and me
G D
Down the aisle with someone else you're walkin'
A D
Those wedding bells will never ring for me.
I planned a little cottage in the valley
I even bought a little band of gold
I thought some day I'd place it on you finger
But now the future looks so dark and cold.
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
I hear the children laughing now with glee
At home alone I hang my head in sorrow
For wedding bells will never ring for me.
I fancy that I see a bunch of roses
A blossom from an orange tree in your hair
While the organ plays I love you truly
Please let me pretend that I am there.
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
Ever since the day you set me free
I knew someday that you would wed another
But wedding bells will never ring for me.
