[Verse 1]
     Am             C
With half an eye on history
C           D        G
And half an ounce of hope
      Am             C
Sold his soul in the vestry
C             Am
Money for old rope
Am
Been this way a million times
C
But now his time is nigh
Am
He steps into the spotlight
C
He wants to say 'hi
   G          D
Hello, we're so glad you came
G                      C
You've never seen me before
Am                  C
He's so ambitious, he's so game
Am                    C
But yesterday he was dressed the same
F                              D
Then he was so much easier to ignore
 
[Chorus]
                G C
Here Comes The Groom
                Am D
Here Comes The Groom
                 G C
Here Comes The Groom
                Am D
Here Comes The Groom
        G                             Bm                 C
But the world's not an inn and there isn't any room for you
              C G C D
But here he comes
              C G C D
But here he comes
 
[Verse 2]
G
   Am            C
He married into money
C        D        G
Just to kiss and tell
    Am                  C
He ripped the contract open
C               Am
He's out of his shell
Am
He looks into a mirror
C
Practising his poise
Am
But it reflects so badly
C
The groom just gets annoyed
    G           D
He gasps, he forgets his lines
G                     C
He's never done that before
     Am                  C
The scientists say he's doing fine
      Am               C
This fumbling frantic frankenstein
F                          D
Soon he's gonna do the dinosaur
 
[Chorus]
                G C
Here Comes The Groom
                Am D
Here Comes The Groom
                G C
Here Comes The Groom
               Am D
Here Comes The Groom
         G                            Bm                C
But the world's not an inn and there isn't any room for you
             C G C D
But here he comes
             C G C D
But here he comes
 
[Bridge]
F                       C G
His fingers are on the cliff edge
F                 C  G
His head is going under
F
Is that applause?
                Am
No that's just thunder....
Dm
Why do you keep saying I do?
D
What does the bride mean to you?
 
[BREAK]

[Verse 3]
Am              C
Play me some Puccini
C             D       G
Make it heavy on the strings
Am             C
Walk me to the altar
C                    Am
The choir can't even sing
Am
Right side for the photographs
C
Left side for the kids
Am
God made me do it
C
So that's what I did
    G              D
He coughs, loosens his bow-tie
G                     C
You've never seen him before
    Am                  C
He kisses the bride, oh you know why
Am                    C
Love's one more thing you can buy
F                                    D
He was unfaithful before he went outdoors
D
(and now he's in the graveyard)
 
[Chorus]
                G C
Here Comes The Groom
               Am D
Here Comes The Groom
                G C
Here Comes The Groom
                Am D
Here Comes The Groom
         G                           Bm                 C
But the world's not an inn and there isn't any room for you
              C G C D
But here he comes
              C G C D
But here he comes.
                C G C D C G C D C G C D
Here Comes The Groom
                 G C Am D
Here Comes The Groom
 
[Outro]
G C Am D G
