[Verse]
G C
The wedding bells were ringing on a moonlit winter's night
G D
The church was decorated, all within was gay and bright.
G C
A woman with a baby came and saw the lights aglow,
G C D G
She thought of how those same bells chimed for her three years ago.
G C
I'd like to be admitted, sir, she told the sexton old
G D
Just for the sake of baby to protect him from the cold.
G C
He told her that the wedding was for the rich and grand,
G C D G
And with the eager watching crowd, she'd have to outside stand.
[Chorus]
D
While the wedding bells were ringing,
C G
While the bride and groom were there,
D
Marching up the aisle together,
C G
While the organ pealed an air;
D
And tales of fond affection,
C G
Vowing never more to part,
G
Just another fatal wedding,
D G
Just another broken heart.
[Verse]
G C
She asked the sexton once again to let her pass inside.
G D
"For baby's sake you may step in," the gray-haired man replied
G C
"If any one knows reason why this couple should not wed,
G C D G
Speak now, or forever hold your peace:" is what the preacher said!
G C
"I must object," the woman cried, with voice so meek and mild
G D
"The bridegroom is my husband, sir, and this our little child."
G C
"What proof have you?" the preacher said. "My infant," she replied
G C D G
She raised her babey, knelt to pray, the little one had died.
[Chorus]
D
While the wedding bells were ringing,
C G
While the bride and groom were there,
D
Marching up the aisle together,
C
While the organ pealed an air;
D
And tales of fond affection,
C G
Vowing never more to part,
G
Just another fatal wedding,
D G
Just another broken heart.
[Verse]
G C
The parents of the bride then took the outcast by the arm.
G D
"We'll care for you through life," they said, "you've saved our child from harm."
G C
The outcast wife, the bride and parents, quickly drove away,
G D G
The husband died by his own hand, before the break of day!
[Bridge]
D C G
No wedding feast was spread that night, two graves were made next day
D C G
One for the little baby, and in one the father lay.
G C
The story has been often told, by firesides warm and bright,
G D G
Of bride and groom, an outcast, and a fatal wedding night.
[Chorus]
D
While the wedding bells were ringing,
C G
While the bride and groom were there,
D
Marching up the aisle together,
C G
While the organ pealed an air;
D
And tales of fond affection,
C G
Vowing never more to part,
G
Just another fatal wedding,
D G
Just another broken heart.
