Verse 1
[D]It was a $1000 [A]wedding supposed to be[Bm] held the other[D] day
And with [G]all the [E]invitations sent, the [D]young bride went [A]away
When the [D]groom saw people [A]passing notes
Not [Bm]unusual, [D/A]he might [G]say[E]
But [D]where are the flowers[G] for my baby
[D]I'd even like to see her [G]mean old mama
And [D]why [A]ain't [Bm]there a [D]funeral, if you're [G]gonna act that [D][G]way
[E] [A]
I hate to tell you how he acted [E]when the news [A]arrived
[A]He took some friends out drinking, and[E] it's lucky they [G]survived
Well, he [D]told them [A]everything there was to [Bm]tell there [D/A]along the [E]way
And he [D]felt so bad when he [G]saw the traces
Of [D]old lies still [G]on their faces
[D]So why don't [A/C#]someone here just [Bm]spike his [D/A]drink
Why don't you [G]do him in some old [D][C]way[G]
Supposed to be a [D][C]funeral[G]
It's been a bad, bad [D][C]day[G]
[E] [A]
The Reverend Dr. William Grace was [E]talking to the [A]crowd
All about the sweet child's holy face and the [E]saints who sung out [G]loud
And he [D]swore the fiercest [A]beasts
Could all be put to[Bm] sleep the [D/A]same silly [G]way[E]
[D]And where are the flowers [G]for the girl
[D]She only knew she [G]loved the world
And [D]why ain't [A/C#]there one [Bm]lonely [D/A]horn and [G]one sad [D]note to [C]play[G]
Supposed to be a [D][C]funeral[G]
It's been a bad, bad [D][C]day[G]
Supposed to be a [D][C]funeral[G]
It's been a bad, bad [D][C]day[G]
