Verse 

G                                  G*                   G 
She was a pretty good looking young girl 
                                             D 
And she kissed me in such a way 
G                                  G*                   G 
But to get anything, she said show me the ring 
        D                               G 
The way they did in those days 


Pre-Chorus 

        B7                                      G 
Well I never thought too much about it 
    C                           G 
If I was the marrying kind 
        B7                                   G 
But any young man worth his salt or a damn 
A7                                   D 
Has other things on his mind 


[Refrão]

       G                        C               G 
Get ready Marie, get ready Marie 
                                                D 
Get ready for dreams to come true 
       G                        C                       G 
Get ready Marie, get ready for me 
                        D                               G 
There’s so many things we can do 


Verse 

G                                  G*                   G 
Well I awoke drunk from the night before 
                                             D 
On the morning of my wedding day 
G                                  G*                           G 
And the best man said man, the best thing to do 
        D                               G 
Is just keep going that way 


Pre-Chorus 

        B7                                                G 
But my pretty young bride wasn’t laughing 
        C                                               G 
When I tripped and fell down the aisle 
        B7                                              G 
And though I was a pain, still no one could complain 
        A7                              D 
That I wasn’t wearing a smile 


[Refrão]

       G                        C               G 
Get ready Marie, get ready Marie 
                                                D 
Get ready for dreams to come true 
       G                        C                       G 
Get ready Marie, get ready for me 
                        D                               G 
There’s so many things we can do 


        B7                                                G 
No this isn’t the end of our story 
           C                                    G 
No our marriage stuck like a habit 
        B7                                          C 
But I had a good hunch, when she kissed me a bunch 
                A7                                      D 
She could do other things like a rabbit 

       G                        C               G 
Get ready Marie, get ready Marie 
                                                D 
Get ready for dreams to come true 
       G                        C                       G 
Get ready Marie, get ready for me 
                        D                               G 
There’s so many things we can do
