Dance Little Jean

I played a wedding for the money,
GG Piano Chord 
                   G7G7 Piano Chord 
                 CC Piano Chord 

and I wished that I could tell the bride and groom
DD Piano Chord 
                 D7D7 Piano Chord 

Just what I thought of marriage
CC Piano Chord 
                             GG Piano Chord 

And what in store after their honeymoon
GG Piano Chord 

and I was grumblin' to the dancers
GG Piano Chord 
             G7G7 Piano Chord 
            CC Piano Chord 

'bout how men and women ought to live apart
DD Piano Chord 
                             CC Piano Chord 

And how a promise never made can not be broken
DD Piano Chord 
                GG Piano Chord 

And can never break your heart

When sudenly from out of nowhere
A little girl came dancing 'cross the floor
All her crinolines were billowing
Beneath the skirt of calico that she wore
Oh what a joy fell on the honored guests
As each of them was drawn inside her dream
And they laughed and clapped and stomped their feet
And hollered at her "Dance little Jean"

Dance, little Jean, this day is for you
GG Piano Chord 
          EmEm Piano Chord 
    CC Piano Chord 
                    DD Piano Chord 

two people you love, stood up and said "I do"
CC Piano Chord 
                      GG Piano Chord 

Dance little Jean, the prayer that you had
CC Piano Chord 

Was answered today
D7D7 Piano Chord 
            GG Piano Chord 

Your mama's marrying your dad

Well, my cynical heart just melted
'Cause I knew what this get together meant
How it ended year of tears and sad confusion
That the little girl had spent
Well they told the band to pack it up
About the time the couple cut the cake
But we played as long as they stayed
For love and laughs and little Jeanie's sake

(Chorus)
