                      C             G
They got married in a honky tonk bar
                     Am                F
Said their vows on a 6 string steel guitar
             Am                       G
He's been in love since the moment he saw her
          F                G
All those years ago at the livestock show
            C          G
He's just a rodeo clown
                        Am                   F
He ain't much, just the biggest damn fool in town
         Am                     G
Now, His best man couldn't come around
                F                 G
cause he died a month ago down in Mexico

     F                G
Well, God bless the fools
    Am               C
For breaking all the rules
    F                   G
and fighting over their bar stools
                         C               G  Am  F  Am  G  F  G
And getting married in a honky tonk bar

                      C             G
They honeymooned in a pick up truck
                      Am                F
Threw some hay in the bed so that might stay up all night
    Am                           G
and laugh with the stars and the moonlight
             F                   G
And all them U.F.O.'s with their crazy light shows
            C                   G
He left his three legged dog at home
            Am                       F
And let the cows loose so they could roam
   Am                              G
We don't know if they'll ever come home
             F                         G
but that's O.K. you see, we think they ought to go free by now

F              G
 God bless the fools
    Am                  C
For screwing up all the rules
    F                   G
and hanging on to their bar stools
                         Bb             F  C  G  Dm  Am  G
And getting married in a honky tonk bar

First verse (with "cause he died hard and slow down in Mexico")

     F             G
Well, God bless us fools
    Am                      C
For stumbling all over your rules
    F               G
and falling off our bar stools
                         Bb             F  C  G
And getting married in a honky tonk bar
                     Bb             F  C  G
Getting married in a honky tonk bar
