Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro.: | | | x 2

  Mama planned it all, said it's pretty in the fall

 And the flowers would be roses and daisies

 And she prayed nobody saw the weight that I put on

 The bride shouldn't be 4 months and 3 weeks

(Chorus)

  Daddy's pride and joy is marry- ing some boy

 And he looked a- fraid the preacher turned the page

 And I was wearing beige

  Nowhere Baptist church wrinkles in his shirt

 No one's having a ball at the re- ception hall

 And we didn't take no honey- moon with what we've got ourselves into

 A quick "I do" and then back home a- gain

(Chorus)

  Daddy's pride and joy was marry- ing some boy

 Now every- one in this place knows I didn't wait

 'Cause I was wearing beige, I was wearing beige
