G 
Meet, conceive and marry 
          C 
True love's a shotgun wedding 
          D 
There's no time to fool around 
          G 
Because you have no choices now 

G 
Flowers in the backyard 
          C 
With the family gathered round 
          D             
True love's a shotgun wedding 
G 
You can't plan it out 


Perhaps if it was passion 
And not just circumstances 
That you put a little love 
Into that question that you're asking 

She lays a kiss upon your cheek 
Her lips so full and round 
True love's a shotgun wedding 
Mama said "don't fool around" 

I know it seems awkward 
But that ain't gonna stop her 
This down payment is a promise 
That your love is gonna prosper 

The world won't end 
When you throw in the towel 
True love's a shotgun wedding 
          Em 
With the layman writing vows 

G 
It's the right thing, boy 
          Em 
Put that ring around her finger 
          C 
And don't you stop to worry 
          Am                   D    D7 
That the feeling won't linger 
  
G 
Light yourself a cigarette 
          C 
While writing invitations 
          D 
She knows this matrimony 
          G 
Won't meet child expectations 

You lay a hand upon her belly 
So full and round 
True love's a shotgun wedding 
          Em 
Mama said "don't fool around"

       G              C 
True love's a shotgun wedding 
       D              G 
And you can't plan it out
