It was a $1000 wedding supposed to be held the other day
F# D# C# G#
And with all the invitations sent, the young bride went away
C# G#
When the groom saw people passing notes
A#m C# F# D#
Not unusual, he might say
C# F#
But where are the flowers for my baby
C# B F#
I'd even like to see her mean old mama
C# Fm A#m C#/G# F# C#
And why ain't there a funeral, if you're gonna act that way
F# D# C# G#
[Verse]
D# G#
I hate to tell you how he acted when the news arrived
G# D# F#
He took some friends out drinking, and it's lucky they survived
C# Fm A#m C#/G# F# D#
Well, he told them everything there was to tell there along the way
C# F#
And he felt so bad when he saw the traces
C# B F#
Of old lies still on their faces
C# Fm A#m C#/G#
So why don't someone here just spike his drink
F# C# B F#
Why don't you do him in some old way
[Chorus]
C# B F#
Supposed to be a funeral
C#
It's been a bad, bad day
F# D# C# G#
[Verse]
D# G#
The Reverend Dr. William Grace was talking to the crowd
D# F#
All about the sweet child's holy face and the saints who sung out loud
C# Fm
And he swore the fiercest beasts
A#m C#/G# F# D#
Could all be put to sleep the same silly way
C# F#
And where are the flowers for the girl
C# B F#
She only knew she loved the world
C# Fm A#m C#/G# F# C# B F#
And why ain't there one lonely horn and one sad note to play
[Chorus]
C# B F#
Supposed to be a funeral
C# B F#
It's been a bad, bad day
C# B F#
Supposed to be a funeral
C# B F#
It's been a bad, bad day
[Outro]
