Dance Little Jean Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][Em][D][A]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I played
a wedding for the money,
And I wished that I could tell
the bride and [G]groom[Em]
Just [A]what I thought of marriage
And what's in store after

[Verse 2]
their honeymoon.
[Em]
[A]And I was gru[D]mblin' to the dancers
'Bout how men and women ought
to live [G]apart[Em][Asus4]
[Em]And how a pr[A]omise never
made can not be broken
And can never break
your heart
[D][Em]

[Verse 3]
[Asus4][A]
[D]Whe[A]n sudden[D]ly from
out of nowhere,
A little girl came dancing 'cross the [G]floor,
And all her [A]crinolines were billowing
Beneath the skirt of calico
that she [D]wore.[E]
Oh [A]what [D]a joy fell on
the honored guests
As each of them was drawn
inside her [G]dream,
And they [A]laughed and clapped and
stomped their feet
And hollered at her "dance little
jean"
[D][Em][D][Asus4][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]Dance, little jean, this [A]day is [D]for you,
Two [A]people you [Bm]love,
stood [E]up and said "I [A]do"
[G]Dance little jean, the [A]prayer that you [D]had
Was answered [G]today
Your mama's [A]marrying your [D]dad

[Verse 5]
[D]Well,[A][D]
[A]
[D][A][D]
my cynical
heart just melted
'Cause I knew what this
get together [G]meant
How [A]it ended year of tears
and sad confusion
That the little girl had spent.
[Bm][C#m][D][E][A]
Well they [D]told the band to pack it up
About the time the couple cut [G]the cake,[D]
[G]But [A]we played as long as they stayed
For love and laughs and little
jeanie's sake.
[D][Em][D]

[Verse 6]
[G]Dance, little jean, this [A]day is for [D]you,
Two [A]people you [Bm]love,
stood [E]up and said [A]"I do"
[G]Dance little jean, the [A]prayer that [D]you had
Was answered today
[G]Your mama's mar[A]rying your dad[D]
