GPlayed a wedding for the money 
And I wish I could have told the bride and Cgroom
Just what D7I think of marriage
What's in store after the honeyGmoon
I was rumbling through the verses 
About how men and women ought to live Capart
How a D7promise never made could not be broken 
And would never break a Gheart
Suddenly from out of nowhere
This little girl came spinning across the Cfloor
Her D7crinolines were billowing
Beneath the skirt of calico she Gwore
As her joy fell on the honored guests
Each one of them was drawn into her Cdream
And they D7laughed and stamped and clapped their hands 
And hollered at her dance little GJean
They said Cdance little Jean this day is for Gyou
Two people that you love A7stood up to say I D7do
CDance little Jean the prayer that you Ghad was answered Ctoday
Your D7Momma's marrying your Gdad
Well this cynic's heart just melted
As I figured what this get together Cmeant
And how it D7ended years of tears 
And sad confusions that the little girl had Gspent
They told the band to pack it up
About the time the couple cut the Ccake
But we D7stayed and we played all night long 
For love and laughs and little Jeanie's Gsake
We played Cdance little Jean this day is for Gyou
Two people that you love A7stood up to say I D7do
CDance little Jean the prayer that you Ghad was answered Ctoday
Your D7Momma's marrying your Gdad
We sang Cdance little Jean this day is for Gyou
Two people that you love A7stood up to say I D7do
CDance little Jean the prayer that you Ghad was answered Ctoday
Your D7momma's marrying your Gdad

Dance Little Jean

by John Denver

Lyrics & chords · Original key

Played a wedding for the money

And I wish I could have told the bride and groom

Just what I think of marriage

What's in store after the honeymoon

I was rumbling through the verses

About how men and women ought to live apart

How a promise never made could not be broken

And would never break a heart

Suddenly from out of nowhere

This little girl came spinning across the floor

Her crinolines were billowing

Beneath the skirt of calico she wore

As her joy fell on the honored guests

Each one of them was drawn into her dream

And they laughed and stamped and clapped their hands

And hollered at her dance little Jean

C G

They said dance little Jean this day is for you

A7 D7

Two people that you love stood up to say I do

C G C

Dance little Jean the prayer that you had was answered today

D7 G

Your Momma's marrying your dad

Well this cynic's heart just melted

As I figured what this get together meant

And how it ended years of tears

And sad confusions that the little girl had spent

They told the band to pack it up

About the time the couple cut the cake

But we stayed and we played all night long

For love and laughs and little Jeanie's sake

C G

We played dance little Jean this day is for you

A7 D7

Two people that you love stood up to say I do

C G C

Dance little Jean the prayer that you had was answered today

D7 G

Your Momma's marrying your dad

C G

We sang dance little Jean this day is for you

A7 D7

Two people that you love stood up to say I do

C G C

Dance little Jean the prayer that you had was answered today

D7 G

Your momma's marrying your dad
