Shotgun Wedding

G D Cadd9 D


[Verse]

G
We ain't talked in a couple years

The last time I saw him we were 
throwing back beer
  Cadd9
A couple of bachelors in a town too 
small

For our reputations to let us stay 
long
G
I could tell that boy was never 
gonna change

He'd sowed his oats by now still he 
carried his ways
          Cadd9
There was no point telling him to 
settle it down
If it was gonna happened it'd have 
                 Em
happened by now

[Pre Chorus]

Em               D        Cadd9
Til he called me late one night
                 D      Em
Said man, are ya sittin down
                   D    Cadd9
I'm gonna be daddy real soon
                 D
And no I'm ain't messing around


[Chorus]

[Verse]

             G
I thought of all those times he'd be
 up all night

Chasing those skirts till the 
morning light
          Cadd9
there was even girl who set a 
wedding date
But she went crazy or at least he'd 
     Em
say


[Pre Chorus]

               D        Cadd9
So I guess his time has come
                   D    Em
To buckle down and be a man
                         D
And I'll try hard not to laugh
       Cadd9      D
at the alter if I can


[Chorus]

                     G             
Cause I'm going to a shotgun 
          D

      D

[Otro]

     G
Well all our ex girlfriends were 
sitting in the pews
       D
With a sigh of relief when he said I
 do
             Cadd9
We wished em' well
           G                   D
and we all drove on out to the lake
                           Cadd9
And there might be another shotgun 
wedding
   D              G
If I stay out too late
