Dance Little Jean Chords

D7 chords are optional, I like how they sound but it sounds fine without them.
 
Whole step down tuning will get it in the original key, but standard tuning will
sound fine as well with no capo.
 
 
[Verse 1]
G
I played a wedding for the money,
                                             C
And I wished that I could tell the bride and groom
     D
Just what I think of marriage
    D7                                G
And what's in store after their honeymoon
G
And I was grumblin' to the dancers
                                       C
'Bout how men and women ought to live apart
          D                             D7
And how a promise never made can not be broken
                      G
And can never break a heart
G
Then suddenly from out of nowhere,
                                      C
A little girl came dancing 'cross the floor,
    D
And all her crinolines were billowing
  D7                                 G
Beneath the skirt of calico that she wore
G
Oh what a joy fell on the honored guests
                                   C
As each of them was drawn into her dream,
         D
And they laughed and clapped and stomped their feet
    D7                             G
And hollered at her, "dance little Jean"
 
 
[Chorus]
              C
And they said dance little Jean,
     D          G
This day is for you
G              Em
Two people you love
 
      A            D
Stood up to say "I do"
C
Dance little Jean
  D               G
A prayer that you had
    G          C
Was answered today
            D             G
Your mama's marryin' your dad

[Verse 2]
G
Well, my cynical heart just melted
                                        C
'Cause I figured what this get together meant
       D                            D7
How it ended years of tears and sad confusion
                         G
That the little girl had spent
G
Well they told the band to pack it up
                                  C
About the time the couple cut the cake,
       D
But we played as long as they stayed
    D7                                  G
For love and laughs and little Jeanie's sake
 
 
[Chorus]
              C
And we played dance little Jean,
     D          G
This day is for you
G              Em
Two people you love
      A            D
Stood up to say "I do"
C
Dance little Jean
  D               G
A prayer that you had
    G          C
Was answered today
            D             G
Your mama's marryin' your dad
 
 
[Outro]
       C
It was answered today
            D             G
Your mama's marryin' your dad
