B D E B

[Verse]
B
Sammy and Katie went a little too far
     D
In a Johnson grass out behind the barn
       E
Now he ain't got the money for gas
                B
Or a ticket out west
There's gonna be a finger on the trigger when her daddy finds out
    D
His baby ain't been eating but she's putting on pounds
E
Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest

[Chorus]
            B
Is he gonna run
            D
Is he gonna stay
        E
Will he say I do, or I don't
             B
It's hard to say, but either way
                D                E
It's a day this whole town won't forget
                                           B    D E B
Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest

[Verse]
    B
And Betty on the organ, here comes the bride
         D
With her half hammered daddy and his evil eye
    E                                              B
Old Sammy at the altar, sweating in his camouflage vest
Preacher man looking like he just saw a ghost
D
Daddy's sawed off sticking out from under his coat
E                                          B
Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest

[Chorus]
            B
Is he gonna run
            D
Is he gonna stay
        E
Will he say I do, or I don't
             B
It's hard to say, but either way
                D                E
It's a day this whole town won't forget
                                           B    D E G A B
Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest

[Verse]
B
Preacher says bow your head and thank the lord
   D
Oh Sammy sees a break and bolts through the door
E                                       B
Looks like that vest will be put to the test
Yeah buckshot buzzing all around his head
       D
It's a wonder that boy ain't never been dead
E
I guess he just ain't ready yet

[Chorus]
            B
Look at him run
               D
He ain't gonna stay
      E
Won't say I do
                               B
'Cause he knows there ain't no way
                D                E
It's a day this whole town won't forget
                                           B
Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest

[Ending]
D                    E
Aw, look at him run, ha ha ha
                      B
He done passed up the buckshot
He's gone, daddy
D                            E B
Took the stop sign with him
