Verse:

 C           F      C
I once met a young girl filled with fire
C              G     C
That saw through my front to this shell of a man
  C           F    C
She knew I'd be a handful from the start
C             G   C
This strong willed woman had an angels heart
  C             F      C
The holes in these wings don't allow me to fly
     C         G    C
So you'd better brace for a life of pain
C            F   C
And if fate is the path to this better life
  C                G   C
Somehow I feel you'll never see the faces change

Verse 2:

 C          F    C
I look back and wonder sit and ponder.
  C          G   C
How I could have ever neglected you.
    C            F    C
For the blood soaked soil on the old ball field
C             G    C
I gambled on a hand I wasn't ready to lose
      C            F     C
But if the tables were turned and I faced the troubles
C           G    C
Tough times and struggles I put you through
    C               F      C
I'd of been there as you were through hardship and horror
  C          G     C
My life and my love are pledged to you.

She held the key to my broken heart


Bridge:

  F     C     G     Am
Remember the nights she waited and wondered
F     C        G
fused to a myth that it had taken it's toll.
     F    C    G   Am
But this Godless man has mended his way
Dm          G  C
Never again will she be alone.

I remember it well still I always knew

that she was destined to be my bride

This woman had pride she was full of life.

I could see the passion in her eyes.
   C               F      C
She thought she found a man but she fell for the devil
  C      G   C
An evil monster in disguise.

Now I'll honor and obey forever stay.

True to you, my Irish rose
