G
Meet, conceive and marry
C
True love's a shotgun wedding
D
There's no time to fool around
G
Because you have no choices now
G
Flowers in the backyard
C
With the family gathered round
D
True love's a shotgun wedding
G
You can't plan it out
Perhaps if it was passion
And not just circumstances
That you put a little love
Into that question that you're asking
She lays a kiss upon your cheek
Her lips so full and round
True love's a shotgun wedding
Mama said "don't fool around"
I know it seems awkward
But that ain't gonna stop her
This down payment is a promise
That your love is gonna prosper
The world won't end
When you throw in the towel
True love's a shotgun wedding
Em
With the layman writing vows
G
It's the right thing, boy
Em
Put that ring around her finger
C
And don't you stop to worry
Am D D7
That the feeling won't linger
G
Light yourself a cigarette
C
While writing invitations
D
She knows this matrimony
G
Won't meet child expectations
You lay a hand upon her belly
So full and round
True love's a shotgun wedding
Em
Mama said "don't fool around"
G C7 D7 G C7 D7 G
G C
True love's a shotgun wedding
D G
And you can't plan it out
