[Intro]
A
 
 
[Verse 1]
A                                E
Wedding bells rang out today but not for me
                                A
They were for somebody else and my old used-to-be
               A7                D
Had to catch a train, I couldn't stand the news
         A        E         A
I'm on a honeymoon with the blues
 
 
[Verse 2]
A                             E
Thought her invitation was an answer to my note
                           A
Saying I was sorry for the unkind words I spoke
                        A7            D
But it's just a one-way ticket that I can't refuse
     A        E         A     A7
To a honeymoon with the blues
 
 
[Chorus]
   D                    E               A
So roll on, eight-wheel driver, take me far away
  E                              A
A thousand miles may not be far enough
    D               E          A            F#
The blues and I are celebrating our wedding day
B7                             E
Better check my ticket so I'll know where I get off
 
 
[Verse 3]
  A                                E
I know that we're not headed for Niagara Falls
                               A
But any destination would just lead me to four walls
                       A7             D
Where I'll spend weary nights wearing out my shoes
      A        E         A
On my honeymoon with the blues
 
 
[Bridge]
A  E  A  A7
 
 
[Chorus 2]
      D                     E                A
Never thought I'd make this trip without the girl of my dreams
E                                  A
Choosing rice over what I'd had in mind
   D          E              A            F#
So mister engineer, won't you turn on the steam?
B7                          E
Leaving all my dreams way behind
 
 
[Verse 4]
    A                         E
Say porter, I'd like to order drinks for two
                           A
I know that I'm alone, but then, that's nothing new
                  A7                D
And while I'm celebrating, here's a drink for you
      A        E         A
On my honeymoon with the blues
                  E         A
I'm on a honeymoon with the blues
