D             A               D 
I  have the invi-tation that you sent me 
                 A                    D     D7 
You wanted me to see you change your  name  
  G                                D 
I couldn't stand to see you wed an-other 
    A                                 D     D7 
But dear I hope you're happy just the same. 
 
 
G                                D  
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel 
     A                                 D    D7 
That should be ringing now for you and me  
G                                       D 
Down the aisle with someone else you're walkin' 
      A                                 D 
Those wedding bells will never ring for me. 
 
 
I planned a little cottage in the valley 
I even bought a little band of gold 
I thought some day I'd place it on you finger 
But now the future looks so dark and cold. 
 
 
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel 
I hear the children laughing now with glee 
At home alone I hang my head in sorrow 
For wedding bells will never ring for me. 
 
 
I fancy	that I see a bunch of roses 
A blossom from an orange tree in your hair 
While the organ plays I love you truly 
Please let me pretend that I am there. 
 
 
Wedding	bells are ringing in the chapel 
Ever since the day you set me free 
I knew someday that you would wed another 
But wedding bells will never ring for me.
