Track 25 of 30 on the album "Ain't the Reaping Ever Done? (1962-1976)" (2015) [Intro] A [Verse 1]
A                                E
Wedding bells rang out today but not for me

                                A
They were for somebody else and my old used-to-be

               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

                           A
Saying I was sorry for the unkind words I spoke

                        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]
   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

                               A
But any destination would just lead me to four walls

                       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

                           A
I know that I'm alone, but then, that's nothing new

                  A7                D
And while I'm celebrating, here's a drink for you

      A        E         A
On my honeymoon with the blues

                  E         A
I'm on a honeymoon with the blues
