Chords with lyrics

Intro: E MajorE

verse 1
E MajorE                             B7B7
Well, the bride looked a picture in the gown that her mama wore
B7B7                            E MajorE
When she was married herself nearly twenty-seven years before
E MajorE                             B7B7
They had to change the style a little but to me it looked just fine
B7B7                             E MajorE
They stayed up all night, but they got it finished just in time

verse 2
E MajorE                           B7B7
Now on the arm of her daddy, she's a-walkin' down the aisle
B7B7                     E MajorE
I see you catch my eye and give me a secret smile
E MajorE                          B7B7
Maybe it's too old-fashioned, but we once were close friends
B7B7                             E MajorE
Oh but the way that she looks today, she never could have then.

      A augmentedA
Well I can see her now in her tight blue jeans
E MajorE
Pumpin' all the money in the record machine
A augmentedA
Spinnin' like a top, you shoulda seen her go
 E MajorE            B7B7        E MajorE
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
 E MajorE            B7B7        E MajorE
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
 E MajorE            B7B7        E MajorE
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
 E MajorE            B7B7        E MajorE
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

verse 3
E MajorE                            B7B7
Now her proud daddy only wanna give his little girl the best
B7B7                          E MajorE
And so he put down a grand on a cozy little lover's nest
E MajorE                          B7B7
You could've called the reception an unqualified success
B7B7                    E MajorE
At a flash hotel for a hundred and fifty guests

verse 4
E MajorE                          B7B7
Now take a look at the bridegroom smilin' pleased as pie
B7B7                         E MajorE
Shakin' hands all around with a glassy look in his eye
E MajorE                        B7B7
He got a real good job and his shirt and tie is nice
B7B7                              E MajorE
But I remember the time when she would never even look at him twice

     A augmentedA
But I can see her now drinkin' with the boys
E MajorE
Breakin' their hearts like they were toys
  A augmentedA
She used to do the pony, she used to do the stroll
 E MajorE            B7B7        E MajorE
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
 E MajorE            B7B7        E MajorE
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
