D
Played a weddin' for the money
                                           G
And I wish I could've told the bride and groom
       A
Just what I think of marriage
  A7                            D
What's in store after the honeymoon


I was rumblin' through the verses
                                        G
'Bout how men and women ought to live apart
          A
How the promise never made
            A7                          D
Cannot be broken and can never break a heart


Suddenly from out of nowhere
                                            G
This little girl came spinning across the floor
      A                          A7
Her crinolines were billowing beneath the
                     D
Skirt of calico she wore


As her joy fell on the honored guests
                                      G
Each one of them was drawn into her dream
          A				        A7
And they laughed and stamped and clapped their hands
                                   D
And hollered at her "dance little Jean!"

               G
And they said dance little Jean
      A          D
This day is for you
                     Bm
Two people that you love
      E            A7
Stood up to say I do.

 G
Dance little Jean
    A              D
A prayer that you had
                G
Was answered today
             A             D
Your mom is marrying your dad.


Well the cynics heart just melted
                                     G
As I figure what this gift together meant
           A
And how it ended years of tears
            A7                               D
And sad confusion that the little girl had spent


They told the band to pack it up
                                   G
About the time the couple cut the cake
         A
But we stayed and we played all night long
     A7                                 D
For love and laughs and little Jeannie Sage

           G
We played dance little Jean
      A          D
This day is for you
                     Bm
Two people that you love
      E            A7
Stood up to say I do.

               G
And they said dance little Jean
      A          D
This day is for you
                     Bm
Two people that you love
      E            A7
Stood up to say I do.

 G
Dance little Jean
    A              D
A prayer that you had
                G
Was answered today
             A             D
Your mom is marrying your dad.
