Married at Midnight – Douglas W. Fielder

[D7] [G7] [A7]

I got [D7] married at midnight, now it’s six AM…..
and we’re back at the Elvis Chapel again…..
[G7] Had a quick honeymoon and a great big fight….
Now my [D7] new “Ex-Wife” has got to catch a flight…..
Back to [A7] Kalamazoo, wherever that is…..
And [G7] I didn’t even get me a [D7] goodbye kiss…..

It was a [D7] Vegas Wedding, at the Chapel of Love…..
Out on the strip, what was I thinking of…..
It [G7] could have been the booze, the pills or the pot…..
I [D7] must admit the honeymoon was pretty damn hot.....
Now I’m [A7] sitting at the MGM’s breakfast buffet…..

[G7] Trying to figure out what I’m [D7] doing today.....

[G7] Married at Midnight, I must be insane…..
I [D7] wonder if “Candi” was really her name
[G7] Married at Midnight, now I’m all alone…..

Cause [A7] she caught a flight to [G7] take her back [D7] home

[G7] Married at Midnight, Vegas Style.....
It’s the [D7] craziest thing I’ve done in a while…..

[G7] Married at Midnight, now I’m feeling blue.....
[A7] Cause we’re divorced and she’s in [G7] Kala [D7] mazoo….

I got [D7] tickets for Willy and the Cirque du Soleil…..
I’m here for a week, starting yesterday…..
I [G7] guess I could get married two or three times more…..
[D7] I’ve discovered that gambling’s not all Vegas is for…..
To [A7] night I will be looking for a willing girl.....
[G7] See if I can find one who will [D7] give it a whirl.....

I [D7] like the Bellagio the girls are so fine.....
But the ladies there require too much time.....
Circus [G7] Circus is easy, they’re all waiting in line…..

The Mir [D7] age is good too, if you spring for some wine
I’ve [A7] had my best luck at Manda “lay” Bay…..

So [G7] that is where I’m thinking of [D7] heading today

[G7] Married at Midnight, there’ll be someone new.....
[D7] You’d better be careful or it might be you.....
[G7] Married at Midnight, feels good of course.....
Cause [A7] newlyweds “do it” [G7] without [D7] remorse.....

[G7] Married at Midnight, I’ll be out of mind.....
[D7] So will any woman that I happen to find…..

[G7] Married at Midnight, with trumpets blaring…..
In the [A7] morning she’ll flying home [G7] out of [D7] McCarran

[G7] Married at Midnight, it might be a sin.....
[D7] Blame on the “Gambling Mecca” that we’re in…..

[G7] Married at Midnight, there are chapels galore…..
[A7] Just keep thinking bout the “Honeymoon” [G7] that’s in [D7] store.....
