John Prine – Wedding Bells - Lets Turn Back The Years (Ukulele)

  C           G               C
I got the invitation that you sent me,

    C            G                   C
You wanted me to see you change your name

  F                              C
I couldn't stand to see you wed another

    G                                 C
But dear I hope you're happy just the same

  C                G              C
I planned a little cottage in the valley,

  C                G              C
I even bought that little band of gold

  F                                     C
I thought some day I'd place it on your finger,

    G                                C
But now the future looks so dark and cold

F                                C
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel

     G                                 C
That should be ringing now for you and me

F                                       C
Down the aisle with someone else you're walking

      G                                 C   D  G
Those wedding bells will never ring for me

G
Darling lets turn back the years

                     D
And go back to yesterday

                 G
And I didn't go away

G
We had our love to make us happy

                              D
Love wasn't meant to bring us tears

                               G     C
So darling let's turn back the years

  C            G              C
I fancy that I see a bunch of roses

  C               G                   C
A blossom from an orange tree in your hair

F                                 C
While the organ plays "I Love You Truly,"

     G                        C
Just let me pretend that I am there

F                                C
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel

     G                                 C
That should be ringing now for you and me

F                                       C
Down the aisle with someone else you're walking

      G                                 C
Those wedding bells will never ring for me

      G                                 C
Those wedding bells will never ring for me
