[Intro]
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
