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
