I Knew The Bride

E

E                                                          B7
Well, the bride looked a picture in the gown that her mama wore
B7                                                       E
When she was married herself nearly twenty-seven years before
E                                                          B7
They had to change the style a little but to me it looked just fine
B7                                                         E
They stayed up all night, but they got it finished just in time

E                                                     B7
Now on the arm of her daddy, she's a-walkin' down the aisle
B7                                          E
I see you catch my eye and give me a secret smile
E                                                    B7
Maybe it's too old-fashioned, but we once were close friends
B7                                                         E
Oh but the way that she looks today, she never could have then.

           A
Well I can see her now in her tight blue jeans
E
Pumpin' all the money in the record machine
A
Spinnin' like a top, you shoulda seen her go
  E                       B7               E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
  E                       B7               E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
  E                       B7               E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
  E                       B7               E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

E                                                       B7
Now her proud daddy only wanna give his little girl the best
B7                                                   E
And so he put down a grand on a cozy little lover's nest
E                                                    B7
You could've called the reception an unqualified success
B7                                       E
At a flash hotel for a hundred and fifty guests

E                                                    B7
Now take a look at the bridegroom smilin' pleased as pie
B7                                                 E
Shakin' hands all around with a glassy look in his eye
E                                               B7
He got a real good job and his shirt and tie is nice
B7                                                            E
But I remember the time when she would never even look at him twice

          A
But I can see her now drinkin' with the boys
E
Breakin' their hearts like they were toys
    A
She used to do the pony, she used to do the stroll
  E                       B7               E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

           A
Well I can see her now with her headphones on
E
Jumpin' up and down to her favorite song
  A
I still remember when she used to wanna make a lot of noise
E
Hoppin' and boppin' with the street corner boys
A
She used to love to party, she used to want to go
      E                       B7               E
Wo, I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
