Wedding Song
words and music by Arlo Guthrie
Intro:    E     B  A  
       E   B   E     A
 EPoor BAdam aAlone in EEden
 Taking Boff his Ashoes
 ETired of Brunning aAround all Emorning
 F#mFrom his animal interBviews
 AHe aEwoke with a F#mhand on his Ebrow
 Asking Bwho are Ayou
 C#mThey spent the G#mrest of their Alives toEgether
 F#mMaking their deBbuts
 ADressed in G#mleaves and F#mwearing Eblues
Some say one thing, some say two
Ain't much about it anyone can do
Keep on walking till my soles wear through
Wearing away my shoes
Evening comes and the sky turns red
Clouds of colors cover up our heads
Ain't it something just to lie here in bed
Just me and you
Oh Mary, wrapped up in glory
What are you going to tell your groom
How's he going to feel on the day of your wedding
What will your friends assume
Oh, but Joseph and Mary were married
The angels carried the news
What the Lord has joined together
The world must not undo
There's a wedding down at the church this morning
Let's uo wish them well
It's a beautiful day for getting married
I hope the weather lasts as well
It's been years since we've been married
I know we paid some dues
Now ain't it something just to lie here together
Just me and you
Outlasting the blues

I hope the weather lasts as well

It's been years since we've been married

I know we paid some dues

Now ain't it something just to lie here together

Just me and you
