The Reverend Mother went and got me a drink

She came back and said to me "Well what do you think "
       E minorEm      G+G
I said "I've made myself a fool
    E minorEm        B minorBm   A augmentedA
For the prettiest girl in school"

Chorus:
  G+G          A augmentedA      D MajorD
How can I deal with this hurt I feel inside?
   D MajorD       G+G       D MajorD
I'll tell it to the mother of the bride

Verse 2:
           G+G         D MajorD
I put on my suit and smile for the big day
              G+G      D MajorD
But I couldn't watch as her dad gave her away
      E minorEm          G+G
And as they solemnly said "You'll do"
  E minorEm        B minorBm        A augmentedA
Her mother said "That should have been you"

Bridge:
    E minorEm      G+G
At the mercy of the moon
  E minorEm        B minorBm   A augmentedA
The boy who spoke too soon

Verse 3:
  D MajorD        G+G        D MajorD
She married him and destroyed all my hopes
            G+G
Of a two-up, two-down, two point five
   D MajorD
And a dish on the roof for the soaps
 E minorEm            G+G
I saw them at the hardware store
  E minorEm      B minorBm     A augmentedA
He looked boring she looked bored

Chorus:

I'll tell it to the mother of the bride
   G+G         A augmentedA         D MajorD
It's nice to know that someone was on my side
   E minorEm      G+G       D MajorD
Best wishes to the mother of the bride
